The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations are a potpourri of diverse religions, races and cultures with rich natural and cultural heritage but yet to tap the full potential of tourism. An investigation into the glorifying heritage of these eight SAARC nations pinpoints towards their rich food and culinary heritage that is yet to be explored to carve them as food destinations that would definitely help ameliorating tourism too. The Global Report on Food Tourism of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) reveals results from a survey on food tourism marketing promotion, from which internet marketing tools, such as websites have been effectively utilized to promote food tourism in a particular destination. (UNWTO, 2012). Sensing the importance of the websites in the promotion of food tourism for any destination, the present study aims at the comparative content analysis of the official tourism websites of SAARC nations to evaluate their performance from the perspective of promotion of culinary heritage on world -wide web. The modified Balanced ScoreCard (BSC) approach is incorporated into the evaluation by taking into consideration four perspectives: technical, user friendliness and site attractiveness, tourism effectiveness and food tourism effectiveness. A set of 88 critical success factors representing these four perspectives is then used to examine the websites. The study reflects on the relative strength and weakness of the tourism websites of SAARC nations in promoting food tourism and as well help suggesting the remedial measures catalyzing the food tourism promotion through websites.

As the globalization increased, cultural heritage has been widely used as tourist destination. Traditional temples which have valuable cultural resources are important cultural heritages. It was found that most traditional temples which were used as famous tourist destinations lost their intrinsic religious values because of the intensive tourist uses. Sustainable tourism was introduced as an alternative tourism to the conventional one which could cause the destruction of the intrinsic values. Sustainable tourism represents and encompasses a set of principles balancing between visitor satisfaction, economic revitalization of the area, and the conservation of the heritage resources. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility for the sustainable tourism of cultural heritage (traditional temple) by investigating visitors' satisfaction, revisit intention, and awareness on conservation. In order to perform this purpose, Sin-heung-sa was selected as a study site and 339 visitors participated in the questionnaire survey. The study results are summarized into three important findings. First, it was found that the possibility for the sustainable tourism of Sin-heung-sa was high. Vistors' awareness on conservation is high, but visiting satisfaction was medium-high. Specifically, the awareness for heritage transmission was the highest and the awareness for other conservational dimensions such as need for education, conservation for surrounding area, and respect for environmental capacity were also high. Second, visitors' overall and separate satisfactions were not high. Therefore, it was recommended that management strategies are needed to increase the visitor satisfaction because both conservation and visitor satisfaction are essential elements of successful sustainable tourism. The results revealed that visitors' satisfaction could be enhanced by improving safety of the area, providing diverse travel activities and information, and creating unique atmosphere. Third, the revisit intention was evaluated higher than the overall satisfaction, which showed that the attractiveness and competitiveness of Sin-heung-sa was relatively high. Important determinant attributes for revisit intention were analyzed to be good nature(landscape, valley, the fauna and flora) and network with surrounding tourist destinations.

1990년 사회주의체제 붕괴 후 새롭게 인식되고 있는 몽골의 관광산업은 역사 문화적 관광자원이 풍부함에도 불구하고 관광사업, 관광산업 발전영역이나 관광정책 그리고 관광자원개발 등이 관한 연구가 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 외래 관광자의 몽골에 대한 중요하게 생각하는 요인을 찾아내어 관광자가 몽골에서 느끼는 여행과정의 만족도를 조사하고, 여러 분석을 통하여 현재의 몽골관광에 대한 문제점과 개선방안을 제시함을 주된 목적으로 한다. 몽골관광 활성화를 위해서는 관광개발의지와 적절한 사업운영 및 개발절차상 제도적인 문제점 해결 등의 종합적인 정책인 요구된다. 먼저, 몽골관광선택요인 IP분석 결과에서와 같이 전반적으로 모든 요인에 대한 중요성 인식은 차이가 없으나, 관광자의 국적에 따라 중요도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 외래관광객들은 전반적으로 모든 요인에 대해 만족도는 같으나, 국적별 만족 도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 몽골관광선택요인의 중요도는 전반적인 만족수준에 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결국 몽골여행상품의 단순함 보완을 위해 다변화된 관광자원을 이용하여 시장세분화에 적합한 여행상품 제공이 요구되며, 자연자원, 사적지 관람 등의 기존의 확인적인 여행코스를 주 내용으로 하는 상품개발에서 벗어나 변화하는 여행형태와 각 국가별 성향에 맞춘 상품개발이 주된 대안이 된다.
