The availability of many smartphone applications and ubiquitous Wi-Fi technology has greatly spread the uses of smartphones. Particularly smartphones with the locative media services in tourism are booming because location-based technology such as GPS is well suit with tourism and tourists' needs. Smartphones also overcome the technological limit of traditional information media such as printed book, newspaper, etc. Based on the Niche Theory, the study examines the competitive relationships among information media that are used in tourism including smartphones, traditional paper publications, and computers. The paper also examines the niche of each medium based on the theory and finds which medium is more effective and preferred by people who utilize the services before and during their travel.

This study aims to prove the value of SNS tourism information by confirming the relation between SNS tourism information and perceived risk and by verifying its influence on the intention to switch tourism destination. The data was collected from 302 tourists. For data analysis, SPSS 18.0 program and AMOS 18.0 were conducted. First, functional characteristics of SNS tourism information have been verified to have no relationship with the tourist's perception of risk, and therefore the functional tourism information is thought to cause individual motive regardless of tourist's perception of risk. Second, aesthetic value and economic benefits of SNS tourism information have been analyzed to reduce perceived risk of tourists. Third, a symbol of SNS Tourism information has proved to be an element that increases the risk perceived by tourists, indicating that various kinds of tourism information provided by other channels including SNS can serve as a momentum to make tourists recognize new risks the other way round as new tourism information is accumulated, which acts as new motivating factor.

To better publish geographical information on the Web, it is important to capture how Web technologies are changing. For a recent decade, Semantic Web has been developed by incorporating ontologies into the current Web, with an aim to make computers understand rather than simply display. Ontology, an explicit specification of a conceptualization, and the Semantic Web grounded on the ontology, have the potential for effective sharing and appropriate retrieval of geographical information. This paper describes a Semantic Web Service over the mobile Web that can offer pertinent tourism information according to user contexts. To do this, a tourism ontology was formalized in the PARA(Place-Attraction-Resource-Activity) ontology model by organizing tourist places, tourist attractions, tourism resources, and activities. Locational relationships between tourist places were also included in the PARA ontology model to take into account the movements of tourists on a railway network. The XML(Extensible Markup Language) Web Service in the middle tier manages the client-side request for information retrieval and the corresponding server-side response from the data provider. The PARA ontology was integrated into the XML Web Service for the concept-based discovery of tourism information. The applicability of the proposed system was tested through a simulation experiment for Tokyo tourism.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the problems of regional culture and tourism websites and to seek for the ways to improve those websites since the culture and tourism information websites of local government do not provide enough contents and service. This research is based on following 4 indicators, content evaluation, usability evaluation, design evaluation and interactivity evaluation which are used to evaluate tourism homepages of municipality by Korea Tourism Organization. The result of this research came out with the issue that regional cultural tourism websites lack user-oriented contents. Therefore, regional culture and tourism websites need to provide the custom-made information such as setting a free tourist route, complementing reservation system and diversifying the range of search.

Purpose: After the Crona Pandemic, all countries are interested in developing various programs to attract tourists. In order to activate the attraction of tourists, it is necessary to discover the information needed by tourists and provide the information based on the visitor's location. Method: This research proposes a system configuration method for creating tourist-oriented tourism contents information. To this end, it creates GIS and QR code-based content and provides necessary information from the tourist's current location. In addition, by using QR codes installed at various points, it provides travel time and other destination information from the current location, and AR image information based on QR codes. Result: The existing tourism content system provides information using a fixed location-based QR code. This research creates and provides customized tourism information based on the location of tourists by generating GIS-based QR codes. Conclusion: This research aims to contribute to the construction of a new tourism information contents and the activation of tourist-oriented tourism information provision.

의료관광은 관광객의 체류기간이 길고 소비지출이 크기 때문에 21세기의 새로운 고부가가치 산업으로 인식되고 있다. 이미 인도,태국,싱가포르 등은 의료관광산업을 국가전략산업으로 지정하여 연간 수십만명의 해외의료관광객이 찾아 높은 수익을 얻고 있다. 또한 정보기술을 활용하여 온라인 상담을 통한 치료상담, 항공,숙박 예약등을 지원하는 시스템을 갖추고 있다. 우리나라는 의료관광 발전의 가능성이 높고 IT강국이라 알려져 있음에도 불구하고 의료관광 운영을 위한 IT솔루션이 거의 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국가의 고부가가치 산업으로 인식되고 있는 의료관광에 IT정보기술을 활용한 의료관광 정보시스템 개발을 위하여 요구분석을 하고 이에 필요한 시스템 구성요소를 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 위치기반서비스(LBS : Location-Based Service)를 관광 분야에 접목해 모바일 단말기를 통하여 관광 정보를 제공하는 관광 정보 시스템에서 지능적인 맞춤형 컨텐츠를 제공하여주는 관광 정보 서비스 시스템을 구현하였다. 관광 정보 서비스 시스템에서는 사용자가 컨텐츠의 일정 반경에 들어가게 되면, 상세 정보를 출력하게 되는데 이때, 데이터마이닝 기법의 하나인 클러스터링을 이용하여 맞춤형 컨텐츠를 출력하게 된다. 시스템은 분석된 데이터를 이용하여 사용자의 입력에 가중치를 부여하고 그 가중치로 사용자의 선호도에 알맞은 컨텐츠를 출력한다. 이를 통해 사용자에게 맞는 맞춤형 컨텐츠를 제공한다.

최근 많은 사용자들이 관광에 대한 정보검색을 위해 스마트폰기반의 어플리케이션을 이용하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 대다수의 관광 어플리케이션은 단순히 위치기반 서비스를 적용한 관광지 주변의 단편적인 정보만을 제공하고 있다. 이로 인해 사용자들은 제한된 여행 시간 내에 다양한 볼거리, 먹거리를 충분히 즐길 수 없어 많은 아쉬움을 느끼고 있다. 이러한 불편함을 해결하기 위해, 이 논문에서는 주변 관광지 및 관광코스를 연계하여 사용자가 원하는 다양한 경로 및 정보를 보여줄 수 있는 스마트폰기반의 어플리케이션을 개발하였다. 개발된 어플리케이션은 여행정보에 대한 사용자 맞춤형 관광서비스의 기반이 될 수 있다.

관광벤처사업은 기존의 오프라인사업에 의존하던 관광업계에 새로운 대안으로서 부각되고 있지만 아직은 그 실효를 거두지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 그런데, 관광벤처사업은 소규모 저자본으로 접근 가능한 분야로서 관광벤처사업을 영위하고자 하는 기업이 늘어나고 있다. 정부에서도 1999년 관광전문투자조합 결성 및 자금 투자, 관광벤처사업과 관련된 관련 규정을 정비하는 것은 물론, 창업보육센터, 창업정보 종합지원시스템 구축 및 정보 지원, 벤처기업 기술력 향상 지원, 중소기업 상담회사와 같은 다양한 제도적 지원 등을 강구하고 있어 관광벤처사업의 전망은 밝은 편이다. 그러나 관광벤처사업은 까다로운 관광벤처 지정 조건, 제한된 지원, 협소한 범위와 낮은 기술력, 관광벤처 전문인력의 부재와 기업가 정신의 부족 등의 문제점들을 안고 있었으며, 따라서 지정요건의 완화, 정부차원의 지원 강화, 컨텐츠 다양화, 전문인력 양성체제 구축, 관광벤처 사업동기 부여 등의 활성화 방안이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
