Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are visit promotion apparatuses for providing users who have actually visited various points with information in which visits to the respective points are recorded. A visit promotion apparatus () includes: an acquisition unit () configured to acquire captured images in which a user is photographed; an authentication control unit () configured to extract the user's face area or facial feature information from the captured images and cause an authentication apparatus () to perform face authentication; an image generation unit () configured to, when a prescribed image generation condition based on the face authentication at a plurality of points is satisfied, generate a composite image including the captured images at the respective points of the user who has succeeded in the face authentication; and an output unit () configured to transmit the composite image generated by the image generation unit () to a prescribed display terminal.
