Abstract

This study examined the income and price elasticities of tourism demand model by using the ARDL models. This paper used the ARDL & ARDL-RECM model based on the annual number of tourists arrivals, GDP and CPI including tourists from the US, Japan and China entering Korea. First, the income elasticity of the US was inelastic and insensitive necessities for long-run US tourists in the ARDL model. China's income elasticity was elastically sensitive luxuries. Second, the US and China's own price elasticities were very elastic to tourism demand in both models. Third, the US's cross price elasticity showed the relationship between inelastic positive substitutes and inelastic negative complements in China in ARDL model. The cross price elasticities of the US and China showed inelastic positive substitutes in the ARDL-RECM model. Fourth, the coefficients of the error correction term were such that the actual sign and the expected sign of the US and China coincided with the negative sign in the ARDL-RECM model. Therefore, first, it can be established in a tourist policy or tourism strategy through income elasticity. Second, we can improve the quality and differentiation of products, recognizing that Korea's tourism price is more elastic than other markets through price elasticity.

본 연구는 ARDL 모형을 이용하여 관광수요모형의 소득탄력성과 가격탄력성을 분석하고자 하였다. 한국으로 입국하는 미국, 일본 및 중국 등의 관광객 입국자수, GDP 및 CPI의 연별 IMF 자료를 바탕으로 설정된 ARDL과 ARDL-RECM 모형을 이용하였다. 첫째, ARDL 모형결과, 미국의 소득탄력성은 비탄력적으로 둔감하였으므로 장거리 미국관광객들에게는 필수재(necessities), 중국의 소득탄력성은 탄력적으로 민감하여 사치재(luxuries)로 구분되었다. 둘째, ARDL과 ARDL-RECM 모형결과, 미국과 중국의 자체가격탄력성이 매우 탄력적이고 민감하였다. 셋째, ARDL 모형결과, 미국의 대체가격탄력성이 비탄력적 대체재(substitutes), 중국은 비탄력적 보완재(complements)의 관계가 존재하고, ARDL-RECM 모형결과에서 미국과 중국의 대체가격탄력성은 비탄력적 대체재의 관계를 보여주었다. 넷째, ECM의 계수값은 미국과 중국의 실제와 기대부호가 음(-)의 값으로 일치하여 단기관계와 전기의 불균형에서 다음 기의 균형으로 조정해 가는 속도를 추정하였다. 이러한 모형에서 미국과 중국의 경우 설명력이 높고 적합도가 높으나, 자기상관이 약간 존재하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국정부에 의해 실행된 소득, 자체가격, 대체가격 및 정책이 미국, 일본 및 중국에서 한국으로의 관광수요를 성공적으로 설명하고 있다. 따라서 소득탄력성을 통해 관광정책 또는 관광전략을 수립할 수 있고 가격탄력성을 통해 한국의 관광가격이 타시장에 비해 탄력적임을 인식하여 관광서비스의 질과 상품의 차별화를 더욱 개선시킬 수 있다.
