This study analyses how much Korean visits to North Korea have an impact on the North Korean regional economy. It estimates the demand for North Korean tourism via the borders of North Korea, China, and Russia and South Korean expenses to be spent in North Korea. When asked if they are willing to visit North Korea within the next five years in case the pre-conditions of the visit to North Korea are satisfied, approximately 64.1% of the survey respondents indicated 'yes'. To estimate the demand, this research employed the analysis of purchase intention, popular in marketing, based on their willingness to visit. The annual demand for tourism was 4,136,361 persons. The average estimated expense per person is KRW 1,532,000 and the total annual expense is KRW 6,336.9 billion. Assuming that airfare is excluded from the total expense and the expense is made evenly in each tourist destination, the estimated amount to be spent in North Korea is KRW 2,838.7 billion per annum. The backward linkage effect of this expense on the North Korean regional economy is KRW 7,972.1 billion in total production inducement, KRW 2,619.4 billion in value-added inducement, and approximately 2,890,443 persons in employment inducement. The value-added inducement effect is estimated to be approximately 7.6% of the North Korean nominal GDP in 2020. South Korean tourism is expected to have a significant impact on the North Korean economy. As the demand for North Korean tourism is likely to increase steadily due to the expected increase in overseas travel demand by Koreans, inter-Korean cooperation is needed for the development of North Korean tourism infrastructure if conditions improve.

This paper analyzes determinants of tourist consumption in the case of 2013 Gangneung Dano Festival, based on the multiple regression model. We set 12 determinants of consumption such as income as explanatory variables and consumption expenditure as a dependent variable. Also Five kinds of categorical consumptions are estimated. Main results are the followings. First, income is the most important factor and shows positive effect in tourist consumption. Second, age and metropolitan area influence consumption positively. Third number of participating day and length of stay also influence consumption positively. Fourth, number of accompanying person shows negative effect on consumption. Fifth, male, married person, and lodge with own expense influence consumption positively. Finally, categorical consumption has its specific determinants distinct from common factors This paper can be applied to invent and implement efficient strategies for development in regional economies and tour industries.

The aim of this study is to investigate the pattern of inbound and outbound tourism and their receipts and expenditures in Korea, and wishes to suggest a policy implication. The finding in this research indicates that inbound tourism is mainly influenced by a relative income, while the receipts are effected not only by a scale of tourism, relative price, relative income, but also by the exchange rate. Outbound tourism and the expenditures are tentatively determined by a set of information which is synthetically made up by an economic factors. To this end, it could be concluded that tourism policy should be elaborately established to take of the inbound tourism, and appropriately designed information networking system for tourism would be helpful to assist the outbound tourism.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the domestic travel activities by job characteristic and derive implications to improve the domestic tourism by using 2010 Korea National Tourism Survey data(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). We classified survey samples(1,813 persons) by 6 job characteristic categories and compared the domestic travel activities(number of travel, day of travel, expenditure of travel). As the results of analysis, the domestic travel activities of paid worker, full-time worker, employers with a 500 or more workers, biweekly five-day worker are more than non-paid worker, part-time worker, employers with a 10 or less workers, worker who work six to seven days a week.

There have been several research methodologies to measure the impacts of tourism development on the regional economy, which include input-output analysis, income multiplier analysis, labor creation effect analysis, etc. Most of these are based on regional economic indices using secondary data for medium to large regional units. This study tests the possibility of adopting tourist money now analysis, which encompasses a series of money flows beginning with tourists'payment for room, board and shopping, followed by tourist companies'expenditure for material and service purchase, wage, utilities, rent, tax and so forth, and by tourism workers'expenses for living and savings. This method makes it possible to reveal the amount and geographical extent of tourist money flow and draws some meaningful regional economic figures. Case studies of three torist developing areas show that it is utilized for impact studies for small scale areas.

This study is to investigate the expenditure patterns that was generated by visitors who attended The Korean Music Wave Festival and analyze economic impact derived from that event. The target is the foreign visitors who attended '2011 Incheon Korean Music Wave'. Total of 407 questionnaires were collected. The collected data were analyzed to produce spending patterns using Tobit models. Also, tourism multipliers were employed to identify the economic impact. This results show that expenditure determinants such as demographic variables and satisfaction as independent variables are significant in estimating visitors' expenditures. Also, In addition economic impact derived from direct spending was substantially over committed cost. Accordingly, this result can contribute to providing basic information for marketing strategy that generates the economic effect on the destination. Moreover, the result can be utilized when establishing the strategy that can maximize the economic impact based on the spending patterns.

This article analyzed economic effects of changes in spatial accessibility on regional touruism expenditure structure resulting from highway investments on Gangwon province, Korea. The Seemingly Unrelated Regress(SUR) model is applied to analyze the structure of change in tourism expenditure of Gangwon Province, and the competition and complementary relationship of tourist demand were analyzed among 18 counties in Gangwon by Dendrinos-Sonis method. The spatial accessibility has a significant effect on the increase in amount of tourist expenditure, but by 1% increase in the accessibility resulted in a reduction of length of stay -0.18% and travel costs -0.34% by respectively. The most powerful variable for improving the on-site economy is the tourist service establishment, which increases one unit, the amount of tourist expenditure increased by 3.6%. Moreover, the competition and supplemental relationship of tourism demands in Gangwon was decided by the conditions under which traffic flow with passing occurred, such as inland or ocean-typed travel attractions, adjacent or remote regions to the highway. The limitations of this study were not able to use raw data of tourism expenditures before and after the opening the highway due to the restriction of priority data, and further research on the appropriate level of spatial accessibility for the regional economy is needed.

아시아-태평양 지역에서의 큰 수요로 1990년대 들어서 종합(global) 관광이 증가하게 되었다. 장거리 여행 또한 보통보다 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있다. 이벤트(행사) 관광은 관광산업계의 격렬한 경쟁에서 아주 강력한 방법으로 등장하였다. 이벤트관광의 경제적 혜택으로서, 대규모의 이벤트는 주체국에서의 관광 지출을 절반정도까지 절감할 수 있으며, 같은 정도로 수입을 증가 시킬 수 있으며, 궁극적으로는 관광객의 지출(expenditure)을 야기시킬 수 있다 (Vantove & Witt, 1987). 이러한 관점에서, '99 하남 환경박람회와 같은 국제적 이벤트가 199년 이후 지방정부의 주최로 한국에서 매년 개최되고 있다. 이벤트의 주요역할은 지역사회의 이미지를 향상시키고, 관광객을 불러들이는 것이며(Holler 등, 1993), 끌어당기는 힘으로써 주최지의 매력을 강조시키는 것이다 (Mill & Morrison, 1985). 한국에서의 이벤트산업은 주최지의 이미지를 흐리게 할 수도 있는 사고에 대한 안전관리의 중요성을 별로 심각하게 인식하고 있는 것 같지가 않다. 조사분석의 결과는 안전시설과 응급시설에 더 만족할수록 재방문의사가 더 크다는 것을 나타내었다. 비록 덜 교육받은 그룹과 학부졸업이상의 그룹 모두 중립보다는 낮지만, 덜 교육받은 방문객은 안전에 더욱 만족한다는 것도 발견되었다. 안전시설의 요소는 재방문의사에 가장 강력한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

국민소득 증대와 생활의 질 향상은 우리 생활에 큰 변화를 가져왔다. 특히 자가용의 급속한 증가는 여가 생활이 국민 생활의 중요한 부력을 차지하게 되었다. 이같은 추세는 관광비를 포함한 문화비(cultural expenses) 지출 증가를 가져왔고 관광 자원 개발을 촉진하는 계기가 되었다. (중략)
