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.

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 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.

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.

Families form the consumer base of travel market and the family travel patterns are highly dependent on family characteristics. It is therefore crucial to gain a better understanding of the impact of family characteristics on family travel participation. But tourist research has rarely taken notice of family travel participation in Korea. Taking an empirical perspective, this paper examines family tourism participation by Korean household demographics characteristics and derive implications to improve the domestic tourism using 2011 Korea National Tourism Survey data. As the results of analysis, there are significant difference in the total number of family travel days and expenditure by the size of the municipality where the household is located. And there are significant difference in the number of family travels, the total number of family travel days and expenditure by family income and the overall number of family members.

The inbound tourism market is recognized as a vital sector of the tourism industry today, but it is highly volatile due to each country's economic, social, and cultural variables. The causes of volatility vary according to the inbound country, and we intend to revitalize the stabilized tourism industry by minimizing risks. In this study, the portfolio theory was applied to derive the optimal combination for each country to achieve the minimum risk level's maximum growth rate. The number of inbound travelers and the average expenditure per person was simultaneously applied. As a result of the analysis, the best mix by country based on the number of inbound travelers was the UK, the United States, Germany, China, and Japan. Based on average spending, each country's best combinations were Thailand, Middle East, Singapore, Japan, Russia, Hong Kong, and Germany. It is expected to be able to establish a plan to operate the Korean inbound tourism market strategically.

Gangwon-do is one of Korea's most popular tourist destinations, with varying tourism demands and trends across its subregions. It is crucial to identify the characteristics of tourism in each area and compare the tourism patterns over time to devise policies that revitalize tourism in each local government and promote balanced development across regions. In this paper, we classify the regions in Gangwon-do based on tourism data from the last four years and analyze the tourism pattern of each region using the non-Euclidean additive model proposed by Jeon et al. (2021). The model incorporates the proportions of visitors by age groups and the proportions of navigation searches by destination types as two covariates, and the proportions of tourism expenditure types as a response variable. We estimate the model using the smooth-backfitting method and coordinate-wise bandwidth selection. The results are visualized in ternary plots, and changes in tourism patterns over time are analyzed by comparing the ratios of prediction errors to fitting errors.

본 연구에서는 최근 국내 면세점에서의 중요도가 급성장하고 있는 한국방문 중국인 면세점 구매객들을 대상으로 여행형태와 쇼핑행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 다음과 같이 중요한 세 가지 의미있는 구매특성을 분석할 수 있었다. 첫째, 인구통계학적인 측면에서는 한국방문 중국인 관광객 면세점 이용행태에 관한 결과이다. 여행목적에 있어서는 휴양/관광이 72.9%로 절반이상을 차지하였다. 또한 전체 응답자의 약 40%가 3시간 이상의 쇼핑 시간을, 1시간 이상 2시간미만은 30%, 그리고 2시간 이상 3시간미만은 약 24%, 그리고 1시간미만은 전체 응답자의 약 6%가 쇼핑을 즐겼다. 특이한 점은 시간에 따른 쇼핑 지출액이 다르다는 것이다. 둘째, 한국 방문 후 면세점을 이용하는 중국인 관광객에게 상품의 브랜드(Quality of the brand)와 종류(Kinds of brand)에 따라 중국인들의 면세점내 구매의도 활성화가 더욱 진행됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 한국을 방문하여 면세점을 이용하는 중국인 관광객들은 면세품 쇼핑 시 매장판매 직원 전문성에 대한 서비스 만족도가 증가할수록 충성도가 이에 비례하여 상승함을 파악할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 분석 결과에도 있듯이 면세점 쇼핑 활성화를 위해 가격 및 제품 경쟁력을 확보하고 고급브랜드를 공격적으로 유치하여 판매직원들의 전문성을 증대시키는 노력이 매우 중요한 마케팅 전략의 핵심인 것으로 나타났다.
