This study develops an agent-based simulation model to evaluate tourist information systems under ubiquitous environment. In this study, individual tourist's activity chaining behavior is formulated as a utility maximization problem. The underlying assumption of the model is that tourists increase their activities within their time and budget constraints to maximize their utilities. The model seeks individual's optimal tour schedule by solving Prize-Collecting Multiple-Day Traveling Salesman Problem(PC MD TSP). The simulation-based evaluation framework allows investigating individual utility gains by their information type and the total expenditure at each tour attractions. The real-time tour activity scheduling system enables tourists to optimize their tour activities by minimizing their time loss and maximizing their opportunity to use high utility facilities.

ICT의 발전과 관광분야로의 확산은 정보 활용 제약의 완화를 가져왔으며, 관광객은 언제 어디서나 관광정보에 쉽게 접근할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 모바일 디바이스의 보급은 관광정보 전달수단으로서 모바일 애플리케이션의 중요성을 부각시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 관광정보 애플리케이션 분석을 통해 그 유용성을 검증하고 콘텐츠 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석결과 모바일 관광정보 애플리케이션은 제한적으로 이용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 미래의 관광정보 인프라는 통합된 관광정보를 제공하여 관광객의 피로도를 낮추는 한편, 정보제공자와 수용자 간 상호작용이 가능한 플랫폼 형태로 구축되어야 할 것이다.

We analyzed the relationship among customer value, satisfaction and continuous use intention of tourism social commerce in this study. And also we observed the moderating effects of regulatory focus on the relationship between customer value and satisfaction. As the results, we found partially positive relationship between customer value and satisfaction and positive relationship between satisfaction and continuous use intention of tourism social commerce. The regulatory focus partially moderated the relationship between customer value and satisfaction. Finally we emphasize the importance of customer value, enhancing promotion focus and weakening prevention focus for continuous use intention of tourism social commerce.

Recently, urban tourism regeneration projects to attract tourists are gradually increasing. Therefore, this paper focuses on social capital, which is a major factor in attracting tourists to revisit for revitalization of such urban tourism areas. Specifically, it looked at one of the social relations formed between tourists and local residents,'the process of revisiting based on attachment to the place by making the formation of social capital perceive empirical value'. As a result, you can see (insert result). This means that the bond between tourists and local residents is an important factor in inducing tourists to revisit actively in the urban tourism regeneration area. Therefore, this study presented implications for academic and practical work based on these results.

사람들의 건강에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 이러한 사람들의 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있는 다양한 서비스가 개발되어지고 있다. 헬스-관광 서비스는 관광 서비스와 헬스 서비스를 접목하여 관광객의 건강관리를 도와주는 서비스이다. 헬스-관광 서비스는 PDA의 지리정보 및 관광정보를 활용하여 방문할 관광지역과 이동방법을 선정한다. 시스템은 사용자의 기본 정보와 이동반경을 계산하여 사용자의 예상 운동량을 산출하여 보여주고, 사용자는 해당 정보를 바탕으로 전체 관광코스를 선정한다. 실 운동량 측정은 관광객의 이동거리, 이동속도, 고도, 맥박, 체온 등의 정보를 이용하여 측정하고, 측정된 운동량을 사용자에게 알려준다. 또한 실 운동량이 예상 운동량과 비교하여 과도하거나 부족한 경우 관광코스의 수정을 유도하여 적정량의 운동을 할 수 있도록 코치할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 헬스-관광 서비스 시스템의 서비스 방법을 제안하고, 헬스-관광 서비스 시스템을 설계하였다.

Recently, foreign tourists and car owners or motorists are increasing, so tourist sign boards are necessary to inform them. Unfortunately, tourist sign boards are difficult to understand because they are often written incorrectly. This paper has a thorough grasp of this problem and will present an ideal standard model which is precise and detailed. This paper includes research of tourist boards sign Seoul, Kyongju, Pusan, Kwangju, Yosu, Kwang reung in Korea. Also tourist sign boards in the U.K, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria will be discussed. A survey was conducted of eight hundred people to determine tourist information is obtained. In conclusion, tourist sign board should convey accurate and useful information to people of all ages. Tourist information should be systematic and logical. An ideal standard model of tourist signs will render traveling easier for tourists all over the world. It will be more convenient for both kinds of tourist; domestic and foreign.

Every year until 2012, it had increased the domestic and foreign tourists for Busan. However, since 2013 the situation of tourists has decreased. The main reason is why there were difficulties in finding basic facilities such as toilet facilities. Therefore, in this paper we deveop the application that help create the pleasant sightseeing environment by preventing foreign tourists from experiencing embarrassing accidents due to the unfamiliarity with Busan. As well as it merges with several other tourist applications, we can expect a greater expected effect.

This research was conducted to explore the factors that cause medical tourists' dissatisfaction, and find ways to solve the tourists' problems by researching on the relationship between the service recovery and the failure of medical services. Also, the research has put more emphasis on establishing marketing strategies that enable Japanese medical tourists to actively visit Korea, and finding out the effects that the medical tourists satisfaction and trust have on their behavioral intentions, recommendations, and positive feedbacks. The summary of the research analysis results as follows. First, the service recovery after the service failure has positive influences on the medical tourist's satisfaction. Second, the service recovery has proven its positive influences on the tourists' trusts and behavioral intentions. Third, the satisfaction of the service recovery has built the mutual trust between the tourists' and the medical center, and this has positive influences on the customer's behavioral intentions. Finally, the research was conducted to analyze the moderating effects on the relationship between the service recovery and the recovery satisfaction. It was found that the medical service failure recognition type has proven no moderating effects.

The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the brand of tourism resources and examine the effects of brand equity on brand loyalty focusing on the brand of tourism resources in cities and counties level. To this end, we reviewed the literatures and analysed 410 surveys from the 8 provinces. The results show that brand awareness and brand image of tourism resources have significant effects on brand preference, and brand awareness, image and preference have effects on brand loyalty measured by revisit and recommendation intention. However the one of most important results is the brand equity(awareness, image, preference) has partially significant effects on brand loyalty under the effects of visitor's satisfaction. Additionally, the positive effect of brand awareness on brand image is examined. More specific results and implications are provided.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of tourists in islands that are well-known for their natural landscapes. It is expected that this number will go up steadily, due to the increase in per capita income and leisure time. Regarding tourism transportation, utilizing linkage transport between coastal passenger terminal and inland transport system is crucial. However, the existing system does not measure up to the expectations. This is attributable to the fact that the distances between coastal passenger terminals and inland transportation terminals are too far. Also, the current public transportation system lacks support and needs to take the role of connecting the two terminals. This study shows how coast-inland linkage transport system should be reformed in order to promote island tourism. It focuses on building linkage transport system and minimizing walking distance. Also, adjusting passenger ship schedule to the characteristics of island tourism is needed. For the sake of passengers, coastal passenger ship fare should be reduced, and integrated transport information should be provided.
