'오징어 게임', '기생충', K-POP 등의 K-콘텐츠를 중심으로 한류 문화가 세계적으로 전파되고 있으며 이에 따라 방한을 희망하는 외국인들도 증가하고 있다. 그리고 여행자들의 취향이 세분화되면서 개인 맞춤형 여행을 선호하는 방향으로 트렌드가 변화되고 있다. 그러나 외국인을 대상으로 하는 애플리케이션은 많지 않다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해소하고자 외국인 관광객을 대상으로 맞춤형 서비스를 제공하는 모바일 애플리케이션인 'DisKO'를 개발하였다. 본 앱에서는 여행 취향에 대한 선호도를 기반으로 카테고리별 맞춤형 관광 정보를 제공한다. 그 외에도 외국인 관광객에게 필수적인 번역, 환율, 시차, 지도 등의 편의 기능을 제공한다. 본 앱을 통해 외국인 관광객들은 맞춤형 정보와 반드시 필요한 편의 서비스를 'DisKO'에서 활용할 수 있다.
