Abstract

The year 2019 is the first year of starting 5G. 5G is the fifth generation mobile communication system. 5G is up to 100 Gbps and is “100 times faster” than 4G. For example, data communication that takes 10 seconds for 4G is less than 0.1 seconds for 5G and ends in an instant. In 2018, the introduction of 5G began in the United States and South Korea, and in 2019, another 16 countries introduced it. The communication speed has increased remarkably; the website that had been still images mainly will change to the video mainly at once. Firstly, hotel reservation sites will mainly change to video. As a result, hotels will be able to convey its attractiveness more realistically. Still, it must also need to reveal inconvenient parts. There will be a large gap between hotels. The faster the communication speed, the faster the image will be produced. There are many ruins in Asia. It will be easy to recreate the ancient appearance at ruins more realistically for tourists. For example, Mohenjo-Daro in India. It will then be possible for tourists to see the ancient appearance at the ruin. Of course, many other technologies will be required for this kind of project. However, increased communication speed must be the key factor.
