The Korea Wave has been spread out all over the world since 1990s. Therefore, it can be seen that the Korea wave phenomenon is one of determinants of international tourism demand for Korea in addition to the macro factors such as population, GDP per capita, exchange rate, distance, etc. Existing studies have focused on analyzing the impacts of the Korea wave on the international tourism demand for Korea by using the aggregated data. However, the impacts of the Korea wave inducing tourism vary in different age groups. In this study, we conduct empirical analysis in order to explore how different the effects of Korea wave on the demand of foreign tourists visiting to Korea in different age groups are. The estimation results show that the Korea Wave influences most on international tourism demand for Korea in the age group of the under-20s. Noticeable is that the estimated effects of the Korea Wave on international tourism demand for Korea in the age group of the over-50s are higher than those in the 30s and 40s. This indicates that the parent generations visit Korea together with their young children who are most affected by the Korea Wave. Through this study, it is necessary to develop strategies for tourism marketing linked to children and parents, and to develop tourism products to increase the number of foreign visitors to Korea in the 30s and 40s.

최근 평균수명이 증가와 더불어 삶의 질이 중요시하고 건강한 삶을 누리고자하는 인류의 염원은 보건의료라는 보편적 가치에 동반 상승할 수 있는 산업과의 결합이 의료관광이라는 새로운 관광시장을 형성하였다. 의료관광은 시장규모가 1억 달러 이상에 이를 것으로 예상되는 고부가가치 산업이다. 또한 외국인을 상대 의료관광은 체류기간이 길고 지출비용도 일반 관광객의 3배 이상으로 지역경제 활성화에 큰 공헌을 하는 대표적인 신 성장 동력산업으로 보고 있다. 더불어 의료관광 추세가 의료서비스를 받으면서 휴양 레저 문화활동을 함께 즐기는 방향으로 발전될 것으로 예측하고 최근 단순 치료 목적이 아닌 방향으로 선회하고 있다. 그러나 국가 정책적 산업으로서 육성에 박차를 가하고는 있으나 의료 기반시설이 열악하고 관련 규정 및 제도적 미비점이 지금의 의료관광 산업에 발맞추지 못하는 실정이다. 이는 주변 경쟁국에 비해 인식부족과 세계시장에 대한 마케팅 활동 부족 및 의료관광 상품의 다양성 부족 등과 함께 의료관광이 활성화하기 위하여 여러 가지 제약이 되는 정책적 문제점들이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현행 우리나라의 의료관광에 대한 정책적 과제를 살펴보고 이를 개선하기 위한 제도적 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다.

China's inbound tourism became one of the key drivers for economic growth with open-door policy in 1978 and has experienced the fast growth over the past three decades. In 2008, China, as one of the world's leading tourist destinations, is ranked the 4th globally in the number of inbound overnight tourists. Based on China tourism statistics, this paper aims to examine the growth of inbound tourist flows at the national level and the changing spatial distribution by comparing between 1995 and 2008 at the regional level (31 province-level regions) in China. In particular, the spatial distributions of tourist flows from the 6 main generating countries (South Korea, Japan, Singapore, U.S.A., Germany, and Russia) are more concretely analyzed. For five countries except Russia, with slight differences by country, while the eastern area of China is still the most popular destination and western part remains the least visited area, the central part is witnessing the increasing popularity. Russia shows an obvious difference, presenting the spatial pattern that tourist flows are mainly concentrated in the northern and the most southern part of China. This paper helps to understand the dynamics of China's regional changes from an inbound tourism perspective.

본 연구는 최근 관광산업에서 많은 영향을 차지하고 있는 레지던스산업에 있어서 업무프로세스, 레지던스내부전략이 레지던스 내부고객만족에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 살펴보고자 하는 연구이다. 최근 서비스산업은 전 세계 산업의 70%이상을 차지하고 있으며 이중 관광산업의 경우 그 비중이 나날이 커져가고 있다. 특히 관광산업의 경우 단순히 관련 산업의 성장뿐만 아니라 국가 이미지 개선, 외화획득 등 국가의 브랜드 개선에 많은 역할을 수행하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에도 방문하는 외국인관광객의 수가 매년 중가추세이며 특히 관광이 아닌 비즈니스의 목적으로 방문하는 수도 동반적으로 상승하고 있다. 이렇듯 비즈니스를 위해 방문하는 해외방문객이 주로 머무는 곳이 레지던스호텔이며 레지던스호텔을 이용하는 방문객이 증가하기 위해서는 내부고객인 종업원 만족이 선행되어져야 한다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라에 소재하고 있는 레지던스호텔들이 장기적인 비즈니스 성과를 거두기 위해 어떠한 운영방식이 필요한지에 대해 종업원만족, 업무프로세스, 전략 등의 요인들을 통해 알아보고자 한다.

As the number of foreign tourists increases worldwide, it provides tourism services with various information and convenience. Most foreign tourists have difficulty using existing methods that require internet connection because internet communication is restrictive. In this paper, we propose a mobile device based digital signage via WPAN that can support multi-lingual for foreign tourists. the proposed method shows a menu by combining a template of mobile client with fundamental contents from digital signage through WPAN. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, it is compared with a conventional webpage method. The results of the evaluation confirm that the latency decreases compared to the conventional webpage method due to the improved loading time.

This study investigate the effect of each type of search volume on the number of Facebook fans and the number of tourists. According to the hierarchy effect model, the effect of communication appears to be the sequentiality of cognition-attitude-behavior. Applying this theory, this study predicted that when consumers who have higher involvement and knowledge on specific cities through search behavior, they will be more active in information search through Facebook fan page subscription and will lead to direct tourism behavior. To verify the prediction, we examined the influences among search volume of Seoul shown in Google Trend, the number of fans of official facebook page named 'Seoul Korea', and the number of foreign tourists. As a result, the type of search keyword was divided into four categories: tourism attraction keyword, natural environment keyword, symbolic keyword, and accessibility keyword. The regression analysis showed that tourism attraction keyword and symbolic keyword have influence on Facebook fanpage 'Like'. In addition, facebook fanpage fan size have mediation effect between search volume and number of tourists. All in all, it would be useful to appeal to foreign tourists with a message that emphasizes tourism attraction and Korea-related contents.
