Healthcare costs are continuously increasing due to longer life expectancy and providing global healthcare services through medical tourism is new service growth engine for Korea. Several countries have well established programs and infrastructure dedicated to medical tourism. South Korea is attempting to become a major player in this domain by undertaking broad initiatives. The success of medical tourism is greatly impacted by easy access to two types of information, namely, medical and travel information. The National Health Insurance System in Korea collects huge amount of clinical and financial information from all hospitals. However, this information does not get used effectively in health and travel information systems to support medical tourism. This paper provide clear process map of medical tourism to understand how the patient and information process both medical and tourism fields also describe the need of customer and service provider. In this paper, we develop a medical tourism service system that will promote information exchange and service delivery.

As ubiquitous technology has been developed and has come into everyday life, it has been integrated to tourism information service. However, each regional government develops ubiquitous tourism information service independently without successful example or standard. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze existing cases of domestic ubiquitous tourism information service as a foundation research to establish standard and effective development strategy for accelerating ubiquitous tourism information service in the future. First, ubiquitous technology trend which can be adapted to tourism information service was reviewed by secondary research. Second, representative cases of ubiquitous tourism information service were collected and analyzed in four aspects such as adapted ubiquitous technology, adapted device, service content and type of content. Finally, overall development strategy of ubiquitous tourism information service was discussed based on the analysis result. This paper contributes to get an outline of present conditions and problems of existing ubiquitous tourism information service, suggest overall development direction for ubiquitous tourism information service and point out necessity of the standard and unified plan for nationwide development and management.

In this paper, it is possible to update the tourist information in real time, on/off-line tour proposes a solution(BBTS) based on a bluetooth beacon can provide tourist information without the need for wireless data network. BBTS consists of a bluetooth based data of the low-power supply system and the beacons and interoperable smart applications. Data supply system consists of the BLE & Beacon Pairing-based / non-pairing data transmission module with integral hardware. Smart application modules that provide indoor location of users information, internal server module and tourist information collection and information guide around comprised of applications. The proposed BBTS is possible that indoor service tourism tourist demand due to utilizing the beacon technology. Outdoor tourist information is designed to be downloaded to the smartphone receives the information received from the beacon APK file to provide services. BBTS system is expected to make a big impact on the smart tourism services industry.

Mobile learning content implementing is IT tourism convergence study that IT convergence IT and tourism. Learning to increase the effectiveness of mobile learning content for each learning module, It proposed u-smart tourist information 2.0 systems. Mobile learning content, implementation is u-smart tourist information 2.0 can use the system. Convergence/integration of design patterns and XML is so interesting to students. This is the maximum benefit which is taught classes for each learning module divided into learning the Design Pattern NCS. As a result, the learner. In particular, attendance has come out better the effect of learning and improved. Another advantage is tourism, information content information quality mobile learning content for and construct a tourist information content that you can do in real time. Also, mobile learning content, implementation in the next NCS expected to use a lot of help in learning. This study is the result of increased learning the analysis of the lessons learned. Implement mobile learning content gives fun and interesting to the learner to ten design process using the u-Smart Tourist Information class 2.0.

Tourism information related to the selection and the images formation of tourist destinations is getting more important in tourism industry, and the problems of information overflow is also on the rise simultaneously. And this information overflow can affect the tourists' cognition, emotion and attitudes about tourism information. The objective of this study is to assess their information overload on tourism information on tourists' emotion, attitude and information searching effort. Data were collected from total 438 people with 224 people at public spaces in Seoul, Korea and 214 people at public spaces in Xi'an, China. This study conducts confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation modelling to verifying 5 hypothesis related to information overflow. The main results of the study show that the cognition of information overload can lead to positive effect to tourists' positive emotion, attitude and searching effort.

This paper studies the effect of content information quality of u-tourism information system on flow theory and satisfaction. The purpose of the research is to generate and propose flow-related information to satisfy tourists with content information quality. The meaning of this paper is to derive success factors for verifying satisfaction of content information quality to tourists, establish hypotheses as research models, and evaluate verification. The differentiation of this study is the design implementation of u-fusion tourism information system by combining flow relation information with flow theory. The contribution of this paper is the generation of flow related information and the elicitation of success factors of contents quality of u-tourism information system. The advantage is that tourists can be patterned by symbolization and the pattern can be illustrated. The limitations of this paper are limited to small areas, and the lack of objectivity is required and future tasks are needed to compensate for them.

최근 스마트폰의 보급과 더불어 근거리 무선 통신의 발달로 인해 다양한 서비스들이 연구 개발되고 있다. 한국에 방문하는 외래 관광객 수는 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 이 중 중국인 관광객은 2013년 기준 전체 방한 외국인 관광객 중 약 35.5%를 차지하였다. 중국인 관광객의 82.8%가 쇼핑을 목적에 두고 있으며, 그 중 향수, 화장품, 의류 항목에 가장 많은 여행시간을 투자하고 있다. 또한 방한 중국인 관광객 중 대다수가 인터넷을 사용하여 관광 정보를 입수 하고 있지만, 이러한 정보를 편리하게 제공할 서비스는 부족한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 발달되고 있는 근거리 무선 통신 중 NFC와 Beacon을 활용하여 안드로이드 기반의 관광 큐레이션 플랫폼을 구현 하였다. NFC 태그를 활용하여 쇼핑, 관광 관련 정보 및 정확한 제품 및 서비스 정보를 제공하고, Beacon을 이용하여 매장정보 및 각종 마케팅 프로모션과 이벤트 정보를 수신하도록 하였다. 추가적으로 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 Zxing 라이브러리를 활용한 QRCode 및 Barcode 리더기를 활용하여 스캔을 통한 제품 정보를 확인 가능하도록 구현하였다.

This study develops an agent-based simulation model to evaluate tourist information systems under ubiquitous environment. In this study, individual tourist's activity chaining behavior is formulated as a utility maximization problem. The underlying assumption of the model is that tourists increase their activities within their time and budget constraints to maximize their utilities. The model seeks individual's optimal tour schedule by solving Prize-Collecting Multiple-Day Traveling Salesman Problem(PC MD TSP). The simulation-based evaluation framework allows investigating individual utility gains by their information type and the total expenditure at each tour attractions. The real-time tour activity scheduling system enables tourists to optimize their tour activities by minimizing their time loss and maximizing their opportunity to use high utility facilities.

It is widely recognized that tourism information can be defined as useful and reliable reference which significantly influences the traveler's decision making. As the tourism organizations with online network, along with information system offer an array of information to the public, the passengers more frequently seek and search needed information via internet. However, currently existing tourism contents are mainly designed for suppliers, being viewed by customers perspective, those contents do not reflect the clients inquiries and needs. With the advent of consumer based technology and favorable environment, current tourism-related web sites show some changes from tourism suppliers to User-Created Contents(UCC). The major purpose of this research is to identify the tourism contents provided by both supplier and tourists themselves. Additionally, this paper also indicates research issues for further study.
