Installation background
Naha Airport is Okinawa Prefecture's air gateway and boasts the second largest number of passengers in 2022 after Haneda, New Chitose, and Fukuoka. There are 31 routes operating nationwide from Hokkaido to the remote islands of Okinawa. In addition, the number of passengers in fiscal 2022 will exceed 10 million for the first time in three years, recovering to about 80% of the pre-coronavirus (fiscal 2019) level.
Even before the coronavirus outbreak, Okinawa Prefecture had been ranked high in the "Prefecture Attractiveness Ranking" and is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers as a resort destination. As the number of inbound foreign tourists is expected to increase in the future, as well as domestic travelers, overseas travelers from Japan, and business travelers, WiFi BOX will be installed to meet the needs of even more users. It was become a thing.
