This study was conducted to examine the level of exposure, credibility and usefulness of the food tourism information channel perceived by foreign tourists visiting Korea. A total of 230 survey questionnaires were distributed to Japanese and Chinese tourists, who account for the highest percentage of tourists visiting Korea. The results showed that tourists were segmented into three groups based on their participation in food tourism activities: culinary tourists, experiential tourists and general tourists. Japanese tourists participated more actively in food tourism activities than Chinese tourists. The information channel used most frequently by tourists was 'word-of-mouth,' while the least used channel was 'e-mail catalog contains food tourism information.' Culinary tourist most actively used online and offline channels to search for food tourism information. Perceived credibility and usefulness of the food tourism information channel differed by nationality and food tourist segments. This study provides meaningful implications regarding food tourism promotion strategies.

This study was conducted to provide sustainable measures for conservation and management to protect valuable natural/ecological resources, offer differentiated quality assurance services for eco-tourism products, and explore measures for eco-tourism certification/designation systems. To achieve its goals, the study discussed domestic and overseas trends and literatures that concern eco-tourism certification/designation system and investigated case studies that were presently operational. A group of experts and a group of non-experts were surveyed separatedly to investigate the awareness of the national eco-tourism certification/designation system. The results from the investigation indicate that Europe, since the late 1990s to early 2000, has actively introduced a system that establishes and operates a dedicated institution, and European members have created a cooperation framework to formulate international partnerships and develop standardized assessment benchmarks to adhere to the goals of the system, the period for certification was designated from one year to five years, and renewals were granted based on periodic monitoring and reassessment. In Korea, from early 2000, the Ministry of Culture, Sorts and Tourism and other organizations have certified product quality and assessed travel products and national park tour programs. The certification period was established to be set between one and three years, and the vast majority were not reassessed. Upon investigating the results for awareness of national eco-tourism certification/designation system, a high number of respondents agreed with the need to establish a eco-tourism certification/designation system (90% of respondents), and the respondents cited eco-tourism quality assurance, conservation of value, means to maintain established institutions, and environmental education and information as reasons for needing a certification/designation system. In Korea, a certification/designation system for the eco-tourism industry is presently in operation, but the system regulates target institutions based on their characteristics. Therefore, this study proposes its suggestions via various categories, including designated institutions, designated purpose, designated subjects, designated organization, laws, regulations, and incentives.

현대관광은 관광지를 돌아보는 단순한 관광에서 체험하는 관광, 생각하는 관광으로 빠르게 진화하고 있다. 때문에 이러한 체험관광(experiential tourism) 시대에 문화관광해설사의 관광해설은 관광자의 체험관광에 매우 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적 궁궐인 경복궁 문화관광 해설 프로그램을 이용한 관광객을 대상으로 문화관광 해설내용과 해설능력의 2가지 측면에서 관광자 만족과 재방문 의도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 첫째, 해설내용 측면에서 해설가치성과 해설흥미성 2가지 요인 모두 관광자 만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 둘째, 해설능력 측면은 해설진행성과 해설태도성은 관광자 만족에 긍정적인 영향관계를 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 관객소통성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 관광자 만족은 재방문 의도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 해설내용과 해설능력 모두 문화관광해설의 중요한 요소임이 증명되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 문화관광해설사 재교육 프로그램의 체계적 운영관리 및 처우와 지위에 대한 정부차원의 지원 등이 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

We develop a smart tourism information system that provides smart tourism services to free independent tourists (FITs) through various content distribution channels such as mobile apps, Instagram, YouTube, and chatbots. The smart tourism information system provides location and storytelling-based tourism information, accommodation, restaurant information, and recommended travel products so that tourists can create a travel itinerary based on personalized situation awareness. The smart tourism information system also provides smart tourism services using commercial maps, navigation, and weather forecast APIs from the Korea Meteorological Administration to provide smart tour guide services to tourists who travel according to the travel itinerary. In this paper, we develop the React Native app that provides smart tourism services provided by the smart tourism information system. The smart tourism React Native app has implemented two methods: a method that directly connects to the smart tourism information system, and a method that provides services by interworking through the GraphQL Query Language developed by META (Facebook). The smart tourism React Native app implements OSMU (One Source Multi-use) by providing tourism information from mobile apps, photos from Instagram, and drone videos from YouTube as an integrated UI.

Many cities in the world have increased initiative to realize smart tourism. There are unexplored challenges for the people which lead and manage smart tourism projects and realize its value in tourism (we call them as 'Smart tourism initiatives'), such as orchestrating of tourism complexity, developing and sharing tourism strategy, sustaining tourism projects and innovation. Concerning these challenges, we aim to design a holistic capability maturity model for sustainable and smart tourism governance enabling sustainable tourism innovations via tackling the challenges above. We adopted Dynamic capability theory as a theoretical lens and introduced Design science research methodology in order to develop a new capability maturity governance model as a design artifact. As a result of the study, we could synthesize findings from iterations of the design research cycle based on the IT Capability Maturity Model. Our result proposes a potential capability maturity model supporting effective communication and strategic alignment for the initiatives with illuminating future paths with evaluation methods on tourism capabilities for the initiatives. Throughout this study, we contribute to the body of knowledge as well as practice by proposing a new tourism capability governance model.

Recently, data security and convenience are critical requirements to the interaction and collaboration of tourism service systems for the tourism industry. However, there are still many challenges for current tourism service systems to fulfill these requirements since they have inconsistent structures with different access control models and security policies. Blockchain has the potential to evolve the conventional tourism industry benefiting by its unique features such as data privacy and transparency. This paper mainly aims the interworking mechanism of heterogenous blockchain platforms for secure tourism service. We propose interworking scheme to connect multi-blockchain platforms for enhancing data integrity in the tourism industry. A proof of concept design and implement based on Hyperledger Fabric and Winding Tree.
