This study is to examine the determinants of tourists' revisit intention focusing on behavioral and psychological factors. Many studies have found physical conditions affecting tourists' intention to revisit. The study examines the determinants of tourist's revisit intention in terms of tourists' psychological and behavioral elements such as satisfaction and motivation. The data used for the statistical analyses were from a survey targeting people living in Daegu and Pusan metropolitan cities and some cities of Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do provinces in Korea. The study employs regression analysis to investigate the effect of satisfaction and motivations on tourists' revisit intention. As the results of OLS regression analysis, satisfaction, push and pull motivation are predictors of tourists' revisit intention. It shows that tourists' psychological and behavioral factors have a significant impact on tourists' revisit intention. The study suggests the implications for enhancing tourists' revisit intention by motivating tourists' psychological and behavioral needs.

As a basic element of Jeju landscape, Oreum offers a beautiful and aesthetic view. Considering topographical and geological research achievements, however, an effort to discover implicit value in terms of landscape characteristics and value has been ignored. This paper has investigated the characteristics and value of landscape by Oreum focusing on Jeju landscape characteristics and eco-touristic value and discussed a scheme to maximize the values. Under a theme of 'Sustainable Development' of the RIO Declaration, tour industry has recently changed its focus from eco-tourism to gee-tourism. Fortunately, Jeju Oreum has very distinctive and unique landscape with depressed crater at a crest. Nevertheless, it's very difficult to see a true aspect of Oreum from the street or over the car window. Therefore, it's urgent to begin a research on how to make advantage of and preserve Oreum landscape in order to maximize its landscape values and improve its potential as a tourist attraction. Through diverse programs such as sky leisure sports(ex: light airplane and helicopter riding, paragliding), sky watching, and mountain hiking, in particular, a possibility that Oreum can succeed as LBD(Learning by Doing)-based tour program with volcanic features needs to be examined. Besides, it's also a good idea to develop Oreum tour program or Oreum Museum as an alternative plan. Above all, however, it's most urgent to protect the existing Oreum and restore ecological and landscape beauty of Oreum through proper land use.

The study aims at assessing information on cultural festivals furnished through the internet homepage of a provincial government. The study examines 29 tourist festivals of ˝Cultural Festivals of Korea 2001˝, designated by the Ministry of Culture and Tournism. Based on the inquiring table, framed through the previous study, each festival´s information was surveyed and analyzed, by visiting the homepages of provincial governments. The results of the study show that 1) ˝The information of festival˝ is low in quality. Particularly, ˝the contents of festival˝ needs to be improved and expanded and ˝the festival periods˝ should be brought up to date. These are the important factors in making a decision to participate in the festival and the chief attraction of a homepage, well-planned and detailed information can influence more tourists who are interested in visiting a festival. 2) Seventeen festivals support ˝foreign language˝. But ˝festival information˝ is weak as it provides only an outline of festival and doesn´t even contain the date and contents of festival. Valuable information, like transportations, accommodations and restaurants when tourists visit a tourist spot, and detailed festival contents should be provided. 3) ˝Search˝ and ˝Q and A˝ are function which provide specifics for users. In addition to the homepage of a local government, these functions on the web page of cultural festivals or on an exclusive web page of tourism is required. 4) The homepage of festivals should offer ˝the information of participation˝. The convenience of information searchers should be considered by providing them information such as local prices, transportations, accommodations and restaurants which are necessary to participate in festival.

In the past years, the influx of Korean tourists to international destinations has seen a significant rise, especially in non-Asian countries. However, Mexico is still far from a popular destination to the average Korean tourist. Using Keller's brand equity model, this paper researches Koreans' opinions and general brand image of Mexico in an attempt to identify both the positive and negative perceptions they have of this country. Keller's brand model analyses four different levels of engagement between the customers and the brand. We want to know the degree to which Koreans have been engaged in Mexico as a brand nation and as a tourist destination. Research findings through this study will reveal the needs and insights that offer opportunities relevant for the planning, creation, design and development of new approaches for Mexico's nation brand promotion.
