京都や富士山などのオーバーツーリズムをニュースで見て、具体例が浮かぶ人向け。

骨組み理由3つ（どちらの立場でも話せる）

賛成（Yes）で話すなら

I believe popular tourist destinations should limit the number of visitors.

  1. local residentsToo many tourists can make daily life difficult for local people. In parts of Kyoto, for example, residents have complained that crowded buses make it hard for them to get to work or to the hospital.
  2. protecting sitesLarge crowds can damage fragile natural and cultural sites. Mount Fuji now charges climbers an entry fee, and its most popular trail also has a daily limit on climbers, partly to protect safety and the environment.
  3. better experienceLimiting numbers can improve the experience for tourists themselves. A temple garden is much more enjoyable when visitors are not pushed along in a crowd.

反対（No）で話すなら

I don't believe popular tourist destinations should strictly limit the number of visitors.

  1. local economyTourism brings jobs and income to many local businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Limiting visitors could seriously hurt communities that depend on it.
  2. fair accessLimits may make famous places available only to people who can book early or pay high fees. Everyone should have a fair chance to see world-famous sites.
  3. better managementOvercrowding can often be solved by better management rather than limits. Encouraging visitors to come at different times or to visit lesser-known areas, for example, can spread out the crowds.

模範スピーチ賛成の立場で2分（257語）

序論Thank you. I'd like to talk about whether popular tourist destinations should limit the number of visitors. I believe they should, for three reasons: residents' quality of life, the protection of important sites, and the visitor experience itself. 理由1First, overtourism can make daily life very hard for local people. In parts of Kyoto, for example, residents have complained that city buses are so full of tourists that they cannot get to work or to the hospital. A city exists first and foremost for the people who live there, so their needs should come first. 理由2Second, too many visitors can damage the very places they come to see. Mount Fuji is a good example. Climbers now have to pay an entry fee, and its most popular trail also has a daily limit, partly because overcrowding was causing safety problems and litter. Without such limits, natural and cultural treasures may be harmed for future generations. 理由3Third, limits can actually improve the experience for tourists themselves. Nobody enjoys being pushed through a crowded temple or waiting an hour to take a photo. A smaller number of well-managed visitors can enjoy a place more deeply, and they may even stay longer and spend more. 譲歩Of course, some people worry that limits will hurt local businesses. That is a fair point. However, a destination that loses its charm because of overcrowding will eventually lose its tourists anyway. まとめIn conclusion, to protect residents, preserve important sites, and improve the visitor experience, I believe popular destinations should limit the number of visitors. Thank you.

和訳

ありがとうございます。人気の観光地は訪れる人の数を制限すべきかについてお話しします。私は制限すべきだと考えます。理由は3つ、住民の生活の質、大切な場所の保護、そして観光客自身の体験です。 まず、オーバーツーリズムは地元の人々の日常生活をとても苦しいものにすることがあります。例えば京都の一部では、市バスが観光客でいっぱいで通勤や通院ができないと住民が訴えています。町は何よりもそこに住む人のためにあるのですから、住民のニーズを優先すべきです。 次に、訪問者が多すぎると、人々が見に来るその場所自体を傷つけかねません。富士山がよい例です。今では登山者は入山料を払う必要があり、最も人気のある登山道には1日の登山者数の上限も設けられています。その理由の1つは、混雑が安全上の問題やごみを生んでいたことです。こうした制限がなければ、自然や文化の宝が将来の世代のために守られないかもしれません。 3つ目に、制限は観光客自身の体験を良くすることにもつながります。混み合ったお寺の中を押されながら進んだり、写真を撮るのに1時間待ったりするのが楽しい人はいません。きちんと管理された少ない人数なら、その場所をより深く味わえますし、より長く滞在して、より多くのお金を使ってくれるかもしれません。 もちろん、制限が地元の商売に打撃を与えると心配する人もいます。それはもっともな指摘です。しかし、混雑で魅力を失った観光地は、結局は観光客を失ってしまいます。 結論として、住民を守り、大切な場所を保ち、訪れる人の体験を良くするために、人気の観光地は訪問者の数を制限すべきだと考えます。ありがとうございました。

想定質疑面接委員はこう突っ込んでくる

QHow should a city decide on the right number of visitors?

That's a difficult question. I think it should be based on data, such as how crowded public transport becomes and how much damage sites suffer. Local residents should also have a voice in the decision, and the limit could be reviewed every year.

Q：町はどうやって適切な訪問者の数を決めるべきですか。
A：難しい質問です。公共交通の混み具合や、観光地がどれだけ傷んでいるかといったデータに基づくべきだと思います。地元の住民も決定に意見を言えるようにし、上限は毎年見直せばよいでしょう。

QWouldn't charging higher fees mean only wealthy people can visit?

I see your point. Admittedly, high fees could exclude some people. However, a city could offer discounts for students and local residents, or use a reservation system instead of fees. So I still think limits can be designed fairly.

Q：料金を高くすると、お金持ちしか訪れられなくなりませんか。
A：おっしゃることは分かります。確かに高い料金は一部の人を締め出しかねません。しかし、学生や地元の住民には割引をしたり、料金ではなく予約制にしたりできます。ですから、やはり制限は公平な形で設計できると考えます。

QShould Japan try to attract fewer foreign tourists overall?

No, I don't think so. Tourism is very important for Japan's economy, especially in rural areas. The problem is that too many visitors go to the same few places at the same time, so the goal should be to spread them out, not to reduce them overall.

Q：日本は全体として、外国人観光客を減らすべきですか。
A：いいえ、そうは思いません。観光は日本経済、特に地方にとってとても重要です。問題は、多くの人が同じ時期に同じ少数の場所へ集まることなので、目指すべきは全体を減らすことではなく、分散させることです。
