Tourism or travel business consists of a set of services for people who visit exotic places. Payment is usually marking the end of the series of activities relating to tourism, and it becomes the linkage for the next activity. With the recent advancement of mobile Fintech technologies, we have learned that more convenient and more secure financial transactions are improving the quality of tourism. It should be noted that tourism counts on information technology heavily in terms of mobile Internet and smart devices use, which yields to a wide business opportunities for Fintech startups. However, payment information has not been highlighted for additional marketing promotion activities. The lack of research into information technology-based business models that extend Fintech services related to payment in venture start-up studies hinders the understanding of the possibility of creating new business through the value creation process after payment. This study attempts to investigate this issue based on the theory of smart tourism and service-dominant logic with developing a new information system. More specifically, marketing promotion activities after payment for Chinese tourists visiting Korea are examined. Specifically, WeChat Pay and instant tax refund service were considered while the system was developed by following desing science research methodology. This study is meaningful in that it finds a new possibility of Fintech business model by applying scientific and academic methods, and it reminds the necessity of service automation system centered on instant tax refund.

The High-price development & testing tools and IP infratstructures are required for the development of system semi-conductors, but SMEs have not ability to prepare for them. Recently in terms of the miniaturization and the advancement of semiconductor process, the cost of the semi-conductor development have shown the rising tendency and the market-based design tools used are requied to be upgraded due to the advancement in the environment and technology. On the contray, many other contries such as Taiwan, Japan, China, and User are supporting this system semi-conductor industry. Korean government is trying to build the research infrastructure for system semi-conductor industry that aims to reduce the costs of the design infrastructure investment, to support the companies of system semi-conductor development and to incubate the fab-less start-ups. This study analyzes the feasibility of the project, by using the AHP analysis and the results shows that this project is considered feasible because the AHP overall score is evaluated as 0.840, the overall score is greater than or equal to 0.55.
