In recent years, even though holding international and domestic convention in Asia is becoming more competitive, no action has been taken to review the convention industry in Japan until today. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to clarify the possibilities and the problems of convention facilities as attraction apparatus, which are necessary factors to hold the conventions. It became clear that the convention facilities which are attraction apparatus in the city serve functions as places of international exchange, cultural facilities, and places to collect and dispatch information, functional improvements to the city, sightseeing resources and so forth, and bring enormous economic benefit. However, there is an increasing demand to extend convention facilities because of their decrepitude, and the recent tendency to hold larger scale conventions. The problem arose on how to get hold of financial resources and land to fulfill the demand. Also, appropriate training and appointment of personnel is needed in order to hold the international conventions, and enrichment of management and software is an unresolved problem.
