Participating in exhibitions is one of the major activities for tourists. When selecting their next travel destination after participating in an event, they use map services and social network services, such as blogs, to obtain information about tourist attractions. The map services are location-based recommendations, because they can easily retrieve information regarding nearby places. Blogs contain informative content about tourist attractions, thereby providing content-based recommendations. However, few services consider both location and content. In location-based recommendations, tourist attractions that are not related to the content of the event attended might be recommended. Content-based recommendation has a disadvantage in that events located at a distance might get recommended. We propose an algorithm that considers both location and content, based on information from the Korea Tourism Organization's Linked Open Data (LOD), Wikipedia, and a Korean dictionary. By extracting nouns from the description of a tourist attraction and then comparing them with nouns about other attractions, a content-based relationship is determined. The distance to the event is calculated based on the latitude and longitude of each tourist attraction. A weight selected by the user is used for linear combination with the content-based relationship to determine the preference order of the recommendations.

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to promote the stay type tourism in Ulsan. To achieve this, IPA analysis techniques were applied to survey the importance and performance of experts, tourists, and hotel users, and measures were developed for activation of common points among the groups. Most studies analyze the survey results of a group, but this study compared and analyzed the results among three groups of experts, tourists, and hotel users, resulting in areas requiring activation. According to the results of each group, 'cultural facilities' were selected as the attraction factor, and 'night tours' were chosen as the basic factor to improve. On the other hand, tourist attractions, clean environment and urban parks have been selected as implementation factors, which correspond to the "ecological tourism," one of Ulsan's five-color themes. According to the ranking, the three groups of experts, tourists, and hotel users were able to look at the results of priority items that were selected up to the third place, although there were no exact matching factors. The items selected by both groups were diversification of night viewing, traffic accessibility in tourist sites, and improvement of night scenery, operation of night experience programs, extension of night opening hours, and revitalization of night markets respectively.

This study analyzes the number of Jeju-bound tourists according to travellers' purposes. We classify the travellers' purposes into three categories: "Rest and Sightseeing", "Leisure and Sport", and "Conference and Business". To see an impact of MERS outbreak occurred in May 2015 on the number of tourists, we fit seasonal ARIMA-Intervention model to the monthly arrivals data from January 2005 to March 2016. The estimation results show that the number of tourists for "Leisure and Sport" and "Conference and Business" were significantly affected by MERS outbreak whereas arrivals for "Rest and Sightseeing" were little influenced. Using the fitted models, we predict the number of Jeju-bound tourists.

세계적으로 관광시장 규모가 확대되면서 세계 경제에서 관광이 차지하는 위상 또한 높아지고 있다. 서울 관광 역시 단기간에 양적 성장을 이루었고, 외래 관광객 유치 규모 세계 7위이자 국제회의 개최 규모로는 3년 연속 세계 3위를 달성했다. 하지만 이러한 서울의 관광 산업 성장세에 비해 서울을 방문하는 외국인 관광객을 대상으로 한 모바일 애플리케이션은 한정적이며, 그마저도 사용률이 저조한 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위해 외국인을 대상으로 다양한 편의 기능을 포함한 모바일 애플리케이션을 개발하고 그 과정과 결과에 관해 서술하고 있다. 본 논문에서 서술하고 있는 모바일 애플리케이션에서는 카테고리별로 관광지, 식당, 숙박, 쇼핑 등의 정보를 제공하며 그 외에도 행사, 환율 정보와 번역, 지도, 길 찾기 기능을 제공하는 등 다양한 정보와 기능들을 하나의 애플리케이션에서 쾌적하게 이용할 수 있도록 통합 구현하였다.
