Recently, the necessity and interest to improve the tourism preparedness for enhancing the quality of foreign tourists is increasing, but the related research is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to identify the preferential improvement elements related to the tourism preparedness of foreign tourists. To do this, we applied the R-IPA analysis to analyze and compare the elements affecting the tourist preparedness according to tourist type and time period. As a result of R-IPA analysis for all tourists, the elements that need to maintain the current quality levels were food, security, transit, shopping, and tourist attractiveness and the elements that need to be improved but low priority were language communication, travel expenses, and tourist information service. As a result of R-IPA analysis by tourist type, for individual tourists it is necessary to maintain current quality levels of transit, food, shopping, tourist attractiveness, and security. For group tourists, it is necessary to maintain current quality levels of accommodation, shopping, tourist attractiveness, and tourist information service, but food needs to be urgent improvement.

The development of information and communication technology and advanced technologies has led to the full-fledged implementation of smart tourism in the tourism industry. Concurrently, both domestic and international research on smart tourism has been actively pursued. This study aimed to compare and analyze the trends and issues in smart tourism research between South Korea and China, to identify differences in issues related to smart tourism in both countries, and to suggest directions for future research in smart tourism. For this purpose, a text mining analysis was conducted on 69 Korean papers and 42 Chinese papers related to smart tourism published from January 2020 to June 2024. The analysis showed that Korean research on smart tourism focused heavily on improving the quality and satisfaction of tourists' experiences and understanding their behavioral intentions, while Chinese research emphasized provision of immersive contents and studies on sustainable tourism. Based on the analysis results, implications for smart tourism research were presented, along with limitations of this study and future research directions.

The primary purpose of the study is to investigate museum visitors' intention to use of smart tourism contents by applying the extended technology acceptance model. The study conducted an online survey of a convenience sampling of individuals who visited the National Museum of Korea, and it conducted confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling to test hypotheses of the study. The results showed that information quality of immersive digital gallery in the National Museum of Korea had a significant regression weight on both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use had a significant regression weight on perceived usefulness. Moreover, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness had a significant regression weight on intention to use. The findings indicate that it is necessary to develop smart tourism contents with easily accessible and usable digital applications for promoting smart tourism in the museum.

This research examines the push and pull factors of temple stay in Korean national parks. 152 participants of temple stay in Woljeongsa and Guryongsa in national parks in Gangwon-do area completed a survey to access their reasons for participating in temple stay(push factors) and to evaluate how well the visiting experience performed on a selected set of attributes(push factors). Demographics of respondents were similar to the visitor characteristics of Korean national parks. The result of factor analysis identified 6 push factor domains of 'self actualization', 'health enhancement', 'nature assimilation', 'relationship elevation', 'religious experience', and 'leisure experience'. 6 pull factor domains were 'recuperative quality', 'quality of a temple stay program', 'attributes of a temple', 'user convenience', 'tourism experience' and 'accessibility and transportation'. Satisfaction level of temple stay in a national park was very high of 4.71 in a 5 Likert scale. Gangwon- Do was most preferred with the percentage of 89.2 as a suitable area for temple stay in a national park. Findings of multi-dimensional tourism motivations of temple stay in a national park that encompass nature tourism, cultural tourism and religious tourism is expected to provide useful information for the future development of a more competitive temple stay program and a marketing strategy. However, more defined successive research work is required to generalize findings of wellness oriented push and pull factors of temple stay based on nature in national parks.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the addition of moroheiya powder on the baking qualities of the bread. Three different powder concentration levels of $0.2\%,\;0.5\%\;and\;1.0\%$ were added to flour to make the bread. The volume of the bread dough containing moroheiya powder tended to be increased compared to that of control during the fermentation period. The percentage of baking loss of the bread containing moroheiya powder tended to be less than that of control. In the texture analyzer measurement, the hardness of the bread was significantly increased by adding the moroheiya powder Springiness, gumminess and brittleness of the bread tended to increase and were all higher in the bread containing $0.5\%$ moroheya powder than in the other breads. In sensory evaluation, the bread containing $0.2\%$ moroheiya powder showed a similar tendency with control and showed the best scores, especially in taste.
