Purpose This study aims to propose a framework for safety in domestic walking tourism, which defines the scope and type of safety information for tourists. Also, the framework provides a systematic classification for safety information in walking tourism. As the importance of safety in walking tourism due to the frequent occurrence of crimes and unexpected accidents increases, it is necessary to provide tourists with safety information on walking courses rapidly and systematically. However, most administrators (e.g., local governments) have mainly focused on providing tour information on walking courses through Internet websites or mobile apps, overlooking the safety issue. Besides, there is a lack of understanding of safety not only in walking tourism but also in the whole tourism industry. Design/methodology/approach This study proposes the framework that covers all possible safety-related information in walking tourism. Furthermore, to validate its availability, this study analyzes eight major platforms which offer tour information to tourists by applying the framework. Findings The major findings of this study are as follows. First, all platforms considered in this study do not provide any information on tourism safety, focusing on the provision of tour information. Second, three platforms currently provide an SOS function which means post-safety information. That is, no safety information is provided to prevent safety issues in advance. Finally, despite the increase of social concerns, all platforms do not provide safety information on public order and diseases in the social disaster classification as well as environmental pollution in the natural disaster classification. The details and implications of the findings are presented.

The tourism industry is now changing to smart tourism, which maximizes tourists' overall tourism experience with the use of advanced mobile technologies and emphasizes the utilization of tourism information. Despite the quantitative expansion of the tourism industry, there is a lack of academic and practical discussion on tourism safety. Especially, in the context of walking tourism, tourists are more likely to be exposed to natural or social disasters and emergencies. Therefore, it is necessary to build a system that can provide walking tourists with safety information not only on dangerous factors which are anticipated to be confronted during a walking trip in advance but also on specific dangers in real time. Under the circumstances, this study seeks to identify the types of tourism safety information that can be offered by using publicly available open data, drawing on the safety information framework on the walking tourism that is presented in Choi et al. (2017)'s study. More specifically, this study focuses on the use of open data which is provided by the Korean government. Furthermore, this study verifies the types of safety information that are most urgently needed in walking travel situations. Specifically, this study aims to derive the importance and priority of each type of safety information for a walking trip by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis. For this, we collected 35 questionnaires from walking tour operators (practitioners) and walking tourists. The main results are as follows. First, natural disaster information is the most important factor in the top-level factor of safety information for walking tourists, followed by social disaster, life safety, and exhibition (security crisis) information. Second, information on natural disasters, environmental pollution, and weather is considered to be important at the sub-level factor. Lastly, the noteworthy result of this study is that the importance of each type of safety information varies depending on the walking tour operators (practitioners) and the walking tourists. That is, there is a recognition difference between the operator (practitioner) and the user in the importance and priority of the safety information of the walking trip. Therefore, it is necessary to develop policies and services reflecting the opinions of potential users when providing safety information so that the most importantly recognized information can be provided first.

Global tourism has increased throughout the 1990s, with the biggest surge occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. Long-distance travel is also increasing, and at a rate faster than the global average. The opportunities for event tourism appear to be strong almost everywhere, although we know from recent history that recessions like IMF impacted on these destinations. Along with this upward trend, competition for more desirable tourists is also surging, so destinations cannot be complacent (Getz, i997). Event tourism is appearing as the powerful method In the fierce competition around the tourism industry. This paper investigated the safety factors considered by visitors of 2000 Gyeongju World Culture Expo in Korea and analyzed the correlation between the safety factors and the demographic characteristic of the visitors.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to explore and diagnose the characteristics and behavioural patterns of rural tourists after COVID-19 using decision tree analysis to classify and identify key segmentation groups. Design/methodology/approach - The CHAID algorithm was used as the analysis technique for the decision tree. The explanatory variables used in the analysis of each decision tree model were demographic variables and rural tourism usage behaviour and perception variables, and the target variables were the preferences of rural tourists' activities after COVID-19. From the Rural Tourism 2020 survey data, 614 samples with rural tourism experience were extracted and used in the analysis. Findings - The variables that significantly explained the preference for each type of rural tourism activity after COVID-19 were rural tourism safety perception, repeated visits to the region, rural tourism priority activity, rural tourism accommodation experience, gender, age group, marital status, occupation, and education level. Among them, rural tourism safety perception was the most important explanatory variable in each analysis model. Research implications or Originality - Overall, to promote rural tourism, it is necessary to enhance the safety image of rural tourism, strengthen loyalty programs for repeat visitors, and develop customized products that reflect the preferred trends of rural tourism.

관광객이 관광지를 선택할 때 안전이 매우 중요한 요인으로 고려되고 있으며 이는 관광 산업에서 안전에 대한 욕구가 매우 높다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 관광산업의 안전을 위한 전문분야가 필요하다. 이미 다양한 관광산업분야에 안전을 책임지는 요원들이 배치되고 있지만 전문적인 교육이 이루어지지 않고 단편적인 업무 경험에 의존한 지식을 통해 이어져 오고 있다. 관광산업의 안전을 책임지는 전문가 양성을 위해서는 관련 학문의 연구가 필수적이며, 연구와 교육을 책임지는 대학에서는 관련 분야의 학문을 체계적으로 구축하여 그에 따른 교육을 통해 전문가를 양성해야 한다. 관광보안을 의미하는 분야로는 Hospitality Security가 있다. Hospitality는 '환대하다', '접대하다', 라는 의미로서 Hospitality Industry는 관광산업을 아우르는 의미로 쓰이고 있다. 또한 Security는 안전, 보안을 의미하는 단어이다. 따라서 그 두 개의 뜻이 합쳐진 Hospitality Security, 즉 우리말로는 환대보안, 관광보안 정도로 말할 수 있겠다. 이미 미국에서는 Hospitality Security 분야의 전문가가 관련 서적을 통해 중요성을 설명하였다. 현재 우리나라에는 관광관련 유명대학에서 이미 Hospitality분야의 교과목을 운영하고 있으며, Security분야도 여러 대학에서 교과목을 운영하고 있다. 이에 본 연구자는 각각의 대학에서 운영하는 교과목을 수집하고 분석하여 Hospitality Security의 교과목을 선정하였다. Hospitality Security분야의 지속적인 연구를 통한 연구결과가 축적이 된다면 학문으로서의 가치가 더욱 높아질 것이며 그에 따른 전문가들을 배출해 관광산업의 안전을 책임지는 역할을 해낼 수 있을 것이다.
