This study investigates the effect of infrastructure, economic sectors and its status, foreign direct investment and private investment, as well as the role of political stability in enhancing the tourism demand in the ASEAN region. The research collected the secondary data from the World Bank database and the UNWTO website of 10 ASEAN countries over 17 years from 2000 to 2016. Applying the generalized method of moments, this research found that, "private investment", "economic sectors", "exchange rate and infrastructure measured by "using of the internet" can increase the tourism demand of a country in the ASEAN region. This research provided evidence indicating that the "foreign direct investment" and "inflation" are two detrimental factors for tourist attraction. The major finding confirmed the positive role of "political stability" in increasing tourist arrivals. First, attracting tourists to a country always poses many challenges to its government. It has been observed in the past decades that though there were many documents, which confirmed that industry can help in promoting tourism, very few studies investigated the role of both agriculture and manufacturing sectors in tourism promotion. Secondly, there are only a few studies which verifies the stability of the political system to the tourism demand in the ASEAN region and that this variable (political stability) has the strongest impact.

최근 해양레저스포츠에 대한 욕구 증대와 마리나 시설 확충에 따라 해양레저스포츠의 거점공간이 되는 마리나를 대상으로 한 연구의 필요성도 점차적으로 제기되고 있다. 그러나 현재 마리나와 관련된 해양관광분야의 연구는 거의 전무한 상태에 이른다. 본 연구는 해양관광매력물로서 마리나를 연구대상으로 하여 마리나 경관디자인이 이미지에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구를 수행하기 연구대상지로는 수영만 요트경기장을 선정하였다. 연구결과 마리나 경관의 인지적 이미지에 대하여 경관디자인의 기능성은 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 상징성은 인지적 정서적 이미지에 부분적으로 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 마리나를 비롯한 해안경관의 경관디자인에 관한 해당 지방자치단체나 기초지방자치단체의 경관조례 제정시 구체적인 기본방향을 제시할 것으로 사료된다.

1. Objective : This study aims to evaluate the medical tourism structures in countries with prosperous medical tourism industry such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India in order ro propose optimal strategies that can promote the medical tourism in Korea. 2. Methods : All pertinent literature concerning medical tourism directly and indirectly were assessed, and reviews of medical tourism strategies found in various countries were evaluated. 3. Results : Evaluation of related literature reveals that medical tourism is a recent burgeoning industry that has grown In market size considerably in the last five to ten years. Also, it shows that oriental medicine is a highly likely candidate amidst the various medical fields for attraction foreign patients. 4. Conclusion : The Korean government should support and install appropriate legal and administrative bodies in order to attract medical tourists; Korea-specific medical tourism programs (ie. traditional Korean medicine package tours) should be developed in order to attract medical tourists from the western world and the middle-east. In addition, low-price policy of medical tourism is not a proper strategies for the competition against advanced medical tourism destinations such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India. Differentiated medical tourism package such as oriental medical tourism program rather than provision of low-price policy seems to be more effective strategy for the medical tourism in Korea. Future studies on strategies for promoting medical tourism should focus on how foreigners recognize traditional Korean medicine, what diagnostic approach might be appealing to them and how the legal system concerning the medical procedures may be altered and modified.

This study investigated whether the Point of attachment (POA) theory can be used to measure the consumption intention on go and watch offline eSports games. The admiration for players, social interaction, and on-site consumption requirements for viewing offline eSports competitions are prioritized. In addition, eSports fans in various regions may have distinct consumption concepts and consumption patterns. Thus, this study surveyed China (n = 156) and South Korea (n = 127) eSports fans who subjectively perceive themselves to be fans of eSports player(s) and who have observed at least one offline eSports game. The results demonstrate that player attraction and socialization have positive and significant effects on offline consumption factors. There is no correlation between previous consumption behavior and satisfaction, but dining shows a significant positive effect on satisfaction. Moreover, there is a strong relationship between satisfaction and future attendance intention. In addition, effect of eSports fan attachment on future visit intentions are measured and there is no correlation between the two variables. The front end of the path in the new model's varied between Chinese and Korean supporters. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

과거 오랫동안 기업가나 팝슨(1979) 등의 학자들에 의해서 21세기의 가장 큰 산업이 될 것이라고 예측된 관광산업은 오늘날 단일산업으로는 세계 최대 규모이다. 관광분야에 대한 연구 중, 관광현상을 과학적이고 객관적으로 분석할 수 있는 방법론을 연구하고 제시하며 응용하는 분야로 관광조사분석론을 들 수 있다. 그런데 여기서 다루어지는 내용 중 관광수요와 마케팅분야가 핵심분야로 여겨진다. 오늘날 경제성장에 기인하여 해외관광은 급격한 성장을 보이고 있다. 이러한 상황에서, 관광마케팅을 위한 올바른 관광정책 수립에 필요한 해외관광 수요예측이 요구되는 바, 본 논문에서는 이러한 해외관광 수요예측을 위 한 중력모형과 회귀모형 에 대해서 비교해 보았다. 또한 중력모형을 이용한 수요 예측 시 우리실정에 맞는 여행유입요소를 제안하고, 이를 이용한 모형 비교분석을 실시해 보았다.

In this paper, the nature-based tourism is described as one of the tools to achieve sustainable development in small islands. The study was carried out at Ayer, Bidadari and Onrust Islands of Kepulauan Seribu chains at Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. While the historical records show that previous uses of such islands have started at sixteen century, tourism uses was started at the beginning of 1970s. Among nature-based tourism destination in Kepulauan Seribu chains, these islands are the famous destinations and received a lot of tourists. Tourism growth at these islands has stimulated development of numerous tourism facilities and infrastructure to meet visitor satisfaction. It is observed in this study that island's site-plan destination design has contributed to the successful and sustainability of tourism in small island. The key success lies on the successful integration and implementation of three substantial perspectives into practices, namely economic, ecosystem and social perspectives. First, in order to enhance economic benefits, a site-plan design allowing floating cottages establishment to extent room availability, to build strong images as tropical paradise islands, and to enhance tourist satisfaction with the objectives of improving income and sustaining tourist loyalty to the destination. This design is also reducing land risk from tourism impact and it becomes the significant key of second perspective, the ecosystem perspective. Moreover, the ecosystem perspective has been implemented through native vegetation preservation that led island's wildlife conservation and became potential tourism attraction. The design also develops effective mechanism to manage and regulate visitor flows by establishing visitor track corridors. In implementation, such corridor plays an important role to reduce tourist density in single places and therefore become instrument to reduce severe visitor impact to wildlife, vegetation and heritages of islands. Third, the social aspect of development allowing heritages to conserve and furthermore serve numerous benefits for education, socio-political, culture, and historical studies. Through this study, it is clear that the success of these islands to continuous tourism growth lies on the island's vision to integrate economic, ecosystem and social perspectives on tourism development.

이 연구는 관광분야의 학문적 특성을 분석하고, 주요 분류법의 관광분야 분류체계를 비교 분석하여 분류항목을 추출한 후, 이를 토대로 관광분야의 새로운 분류체계를 설계하였다. 연구내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주요 분류법의 관광분야 분류체계를 분석한 결과 분류항목이 여행 및 관광, 관광정책, 관광자원 등에 편중되어 있으며, 관광분야 연구영역과 비교하면 누락되거나 소홀히 취급된 항목이 많아 적용에 어려움이 많다. 둘째, 관광분야 개론서를 바탕으로 관광분야 연구영역을 추출하고, 주요 분류법의 분류항목과 비교 분석하여 분류항목의 기본범주를 관광일반, 관광주체, 관광객체, 관광매체의 4개 영역으로 설정하였다. 셋째, 이를 바탕으로 관광분야의 새로운 분류법을 설계하였으며, 기본적으로 관광분야를 주류 4개 영역, 총 25개 항목으로 구분하였다. 비록 여기서는 강목 수준까지 제시하였으나 필요에 따라 확장이 용이하도록 설계하였다.

The number of international tourists is noticeably recovering in many parts of the world, with the number of Vietnamese tourists growing significantly. Consequently, this study aims to identify the factors influencing the image of Vietnam's tourist destinations among international tourists interested in visiting the country. Additionally, the study examines whether the perception formed in this manner subsequently affects their intention to visit. The findings reveal that cultural attractions and eWOM (Electronic Word of Mouth) positively influence the development of a tourism destination image. However, film tourism did not have a significant effect on the destination image. Moreover, it was observed that the destination image indeed influences the intention to visit.
