  • Medical tour can be said to be a new high added-value tour industry of 21st century. The development of varied and distinguished medical tour products by each country will further vitalize the medical tour industry. As the interest in such medical tour increases, it is necessary to analyze the demand and interests of tourists accurately and prepare medical tour products to be provided in order to develop and promote medical tour products. The government considers the medical tour industry as an industry with high expected effects in job creation through promotion of experts in global healthcare industry and national economy development through high added-value creation, and has expanded aid policies in medical tour field with improvement of medical tour immigration system, one-stop service system for medical tourists, and medical tour labor force promotion system. Nevertheless, there are disputes between foreign patients and medical tour inviting businesses, along with medical accident disputes between foreign patients and medical staff and disputes with those working in the tourism industry. This article reviews the types of disputes occurring around the inviting businesses related to medical tours and tried to review the resolutions. Through this, it was found that medical tour inviting businesses have the responsibility to connect the mediated benefits and risks and also the responsibility to process the tasks. Thus, in case dispute occurs due to passive actions from establishing agency agreement to active mediation results, it is difficult to escape the liabilities. Also, in a medical tour agency contract, the inviting business must be aware that it bears the responsibility to explain and advise the details on benefits and risks to foreign patients. The "Guide to arbitration system for resolution of medical disputes with foreign patients" by Korea Health Industry Development Institute Act presents a method to resolve disputes according to the [laws on medical accident damage relief and medical dispute arbitration] in case a dispute due to medical accidents occurs to foreign patients when the foreign patients prepare diagnosis agreement, Whether such method is sufficient to protect foreign patients, however, is thought to require discussions from more diverse perspectives. In order to vitalize medical tourism, the development of diverse products is also important, but the countermeasures against related disputes should also be prepared. Such is expected to contribute to a greater advancement based on trust of foreign medical tourists alongside excellent medical technologies.

  • Management optimization is very important in tourism, especially when it is related to productivity. One of the problems in management optimization is tour guide assignment. Well-arranged tour guide assignment will increase productivity while maintaining service quality. A cellular genetic algorithm is one of the methods that can be used to solve this problem. Furthermore, previous study has shown that a cellular dimension increase can lead to promising benefits for certain problems. The objective of this research is to give a clear understanding of the advantages of increasing cellular dimensionality on the tour guide assignment problem by using a cellular genetic algorithm.

  • 조합 최적화 문제인 Traveling Salesman problems(TSP)을 Genetic Algorithm(GA)[3]과 Local Search Heuristic Algorithm[8]을 이용하여 접근하는 것은 최적해를 구하기 위해 널리 알려진 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 TSP문제를 해결하기 위한 또 다른 접근법으로, 다수의 Ant들이 Tour들을 찾는 ACS(Ant Colony System) Algorithms[4][6][7]을 소개하고, ACS에서 Global Optima를 찾는 과정에서, 이미 이루어져 있는 Ant들의 Tour결과들을 서로 비교한다. Global Updating Rule에 의해 Global Best Tour 에 속해 있는 각 Ant Tour의 edge들을 update하는 ACS Algorithm에, 각 루프마다 Ant Tour들을 우성과 열성 인자들로 구분하고, 각각의 우성과 열성 인자들에 대해서 Global Updating Rule에 기반한 가중치를 적용(Weight Updating Rule)하므로서 기존의 ACS Algorithm보다 효율적으로 최적 해를 찾아내는 방법에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

  • This study confirmed shopping behavior of Korean young overseas tourists and its effect on travel evaluation. I first identified core factors of travel activity preference, travel shopping propensity, and shopping products. The effect of shopping product satisfaction on tour satisfaction and post-tour intention was then investigated. Based on travel activities, tourists were grouped, and their characteristics were compared. An online survey method was performed to obtain data of 20's-30's Korean unmarried people, while factor analysis, regression analysis, chi-square test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and cluster analysis were applied to analyze data. The results were as follows. First, six travel activities (city life, art/shopping, cultural experience, entertainment, field experience, and friendship), three shopping propensity (novelty/uniqueness, utility, and prestige), and four product groups (fashion goods, household goods, crafts, and foods) were found by factor analyses. Second, travel activity tended to influence shopping propensity, which then influenced shopping products preference. All factors of travel activity seemed to affect the three travel shopping propensities. Third, shopping satisfaction was shown to affect tour satisfaction, and posttour behavior. Finally, four tourist groups (active, social, pleasure, and passive) differed in terms of preferred tour activities, shopping propensity, and tour behavior. Active tourists rated the highest scores and passive ones rated the lowest for most evaluations.
