The purpose of this study is to make a plan for the development of new tour routes for '98 Kyongju World Culture Exposition. The result of this study is as follow: First, over 40% of tourists from Kyongsang-buk-do Province vote for Kyongju Area as the most favorite tourist-oriented city in this province. And they are visiting Kyongju mostly in April(22.6%) and in May(17.8%). Second, cultural assets in Kyongju area are located at Inkyo-dong(16.8%), at Bohwang-dong(9.4%), at Topjong-dong(8.1%). at Mt. Namsan area(11.8%, 6.9% for Naenammyon, and 4.9% for Dodong-dong), and at the vicinity of Kyongju City(53.9%). Third, tourism enterprises in Kyongju Area are located mostly at one place-Pomun Lake Resort area. This fact have had bad influence on the influx of tourists. Lastly, current tour routes are limited mostly to the heart of Kyongju City. So, other attractive tour routes must be developed also in other tourism circles such as the East Sea Tourism Circle and the Northern Province Tourism Circle, which belong to the 6 tourism circles designated by Kyongju City but are now excluded from the current tour routes. In conclusion, this study proposes "98 Kyongju World Culture Exposition with Themes" related to the 6 tourism circles. The themes proposed are as follows: (1) The exploration of the historical places of the Shill a Kingdom in the heart of Kyongju City including Mt. Seoak area and Pulkuksa Temple area. (2) Smile with a new millenium in Pomun Lake Resort area. (3) The exploration of the Buddhist culture in Mt. Namsan. (4) The harmony between nature and culture in the East Sea Tourism Circle and the Northern Culture Circle.

The present study examines how to construct a transport system for tourism in the marine city area of Yeosu. An effective tourism transport system is needed in Yeosu to promote ocean tourism in Korea's southern coastal region. The problems in Yeosu's transport system for ocean tourism were identified by comparing it with the Bay Area in the United States; future improvement methods were deduced accordingly. The transport support system for ocean tourism in Yeosu area was insufficient in many aspects compared with the Bay Area, such as intercity transportation, urban transport systems, and transport information systems. Thus, this study suggests various approaches to building a new ocean tourism transport support system in Yeosu. Connecting transport modes and ocean tourism resources, such as linking intercity and urban transport modes with ocean tourism transport modes, is suggested. It is also recommended that a cooperative transport support system be established for ocean tourism in the neighboring regions of Yeosu. Furthermore, an integrated transport information system for ocean tourism needs to be provided to connect the system efficiently with ocean tourists. This integrated transport support system could lead to a decrease in the cost and time needed for travel.

The purpose of this study is to find out how to improve tourism competitiveness of cruise harbours in Korea by analyzing tourism satisfaction level of international cruise visitors to Korea, who are increasing rapidly as Northeast Asian cruise tourism market is growing up. In this study we analyzed the factors of effects on tourism satisfaction level by Chinese visitors, Japanese visitors and English speaking visitors respectively based on the results of "International Cruise Visitor Survey 2012". The results of this study show that the individual satisfaction level of port of calling & tour schedule, immigration procedures, transportation, shopping influenced overall tourism satisfaction level by countries. It implied that those attributes should be reflected hereafter when we establish a marketing strategy for each of cruise cities. This study has a great significance in that those results suggest useful information when we make plans not only for activating cruise harbours but also for cruise tour marketing.

This study was done to compare socio-economic characteristics and travel pattern, preferences for ecotourism facilities and programs of domestic and international tourists who visited to Jeju Island. On-site survey was carried out during July, 2006 and a total of five hundred and fifty five (555) individuals' data were analyzed. Survey results showed that there were significant differences between socioeconomic characteristics and travel patterns as well as preferences of both parties. Even among international tourists from countries with different languages showed different characteristics. These different characteristics among tourist groups imply that tour route design and program development should be accordingly considered to provide satisfactory experiences.

친환경적이고 다양한 체험을 원하는 관광수요의 증가로 전라남도의 관광객은 꾸준히 증가 추세에 있어 지역 경제 활성화에 기여할 것으로 예상된다. 그러므로 남서해안 해양 관광 시대를 대비한 핵심전략 수립의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 남해안의 관광 활성화를 위해 섬과 해안선, 다도해 해상국립공원을 대상으로한 크루즈 관광 상품을 개발하고 사업화 방안을 연구하는 것은 남해안 해양관광 할성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에선 해양관광시대의 도래에 대비한 관광전략의 수립으로 크루즈 관광의 루트를 선정하고 크루즈의 신규선 건조 시와 중고서 구입의 경우의 사업성타당성을 분석하여 남해안 크루즈 관광의 사업화 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

본 연구는 낙안읍성이라는 특정 장소에서 열리는 남도음식축제를 사례로 이벤트관광의 정착과 성장과정을 관광지리학적 관점에서 고찰하였다. 남도음식축제는 특정장소가 갖는 매력요인과 전남지역의 고유한 향토음식이 결합된 전남의 대표적인 이벤트관광이며, 1998년 문체부에 의해 전국 3대 축제로 선정되어 전국적인 규모의 축제로 성장하였다. 1994년부터 시작된 남도음식축제는 프로그램과 예산, 참가인원 등 규모면에서 꾸준한 성장을 보여 왔다. 그리고 개최기간은 3일에서 일주일로 연장되었고, 관광세력권은 꾸준히 확대되고 있다. 남도음식축제를 더욱 활성화시키기 위해서는 관 주도의 축제에서 민간주도의 축제로의 전환, 지역축제를 이끌어 갈 전문인력의 양성, 낙안읍성이라는 장소성과 역사성을 부각시킬수 있는 프로그램 개발, 음식축제에 대한 보다 적극적인 경영마인드의 도입, 낙안읍성 주변의 주요 관광지와 연계관계를 구축하여 관광세력권의 확대, 지속적인 관광객 형태 및 평가분석을 통한 관광객들의 관심과 욕구의 반영 등이 필요하다.

In what way is the urban landscape of North Korea used today, and what features do people prefer in the North Korean landscape? This study analyzed the characteristics of Pyongyang landscapes and their effects, based on an analysis of Western tourists motivation for tourism in North Korea and preferred enjoyment-seeking experiences. Using data from the tourist agency specializing in Western tourism in North Korea and a location based photo-sharing service, the study interprets the visual distinctiveness of Pyongyang landscape. The study concluded that widely known risk to travelers in North Korea is in fact an attraction, making people want to visit directly. However, this risk was mitigated in practical experience by the overall intermediation of the tourism agency and locals' conscious behavior to keep their distance from foreigners. Next, the scope of National ritual attributes was expanded to the locals' daily life as well as large-scale events such as mass games and military parades only if for national holidays. Also, the most preferred factors contributing to North Korean tourism were based on departure from routine through mobilization of the residents. This indicates the extension that the nature of North Korea as a theater state. The Pyongyang landscape represents a world politically isolated, people's congregated motion to display to the world, and people's lives hidden beneath a veil. These visualities fulfill the fantasy of Westerners regarding North Korea. Furthermore, these are superficial images that help create a basis to maintain the North Korea regime.
