본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적인 테마파크인 에버랜드를 사례로 급격한 관광수요 및 환경 변화에 대응하는 과정에서의 관광목적지 수명주기별 특성을 분석하였다. 에버랜드의 수명주기 단계는 일반적 지표(이용객수와 매출액)와 보조 지표(이용객수 속성과 이용객 유형)를 기준으로, 농원에서 위락공원으로의 변화가 진행된 초기개발기(1976
The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of a life cycle of a theme park through looking at Everland in Yongin, Korea. The life cycle of Everland is divided into four stages. In "initial development" stage(1976 - the mid-80's), Everland become inclined the characteristics of an amusement park by constructing the amusement facilities in the Flower Center(botanical garden). In "growth" stage(the mid-80's - the early 90's), Everland had full grown to the amusement park and inclined to a theme park. In "maturity" stage(the early 90's - the mid-90's), many visitors were not motivated to re-visit Everland because the facilities and events did not change often. Therefore, Everland makes plans for multiple theme park. In "rejuvenation" stage(after the mid-90's), Everland has practiced the plans for multiple theme park and has become the family and accommodating-oriented theme resort park. Since 1976 when Everland was opened, it has evolved from an amusement park to a theme park by creating various and continuous innovations in facilities and events.
