As part of the research on cultural factors that determine international tourism demand, this study was conducted based on regional interest and the need for understanding religion. The purpose of this study is to empirically test how religious factors affect tourism demand in Korea to find out that religious factors are important considerations in establishing tourism policies and strategies. To achieve the purpose of this study, the research target areas were selected as Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which have relatively many tourists visiting Korea among Southeast Asian countries and are well known for their religious characteristics. GDP and nominal exchange rate, which are economic factors, were selected as explanatory variables. And religious diversity was selected as a characteristic factor variable of the tourism demand model based on the characteristic theory. An empirical analysis was conducted through a gravity model. As a result of the estimation, it was found that GDP has a positive effect on tourism demand in Korea. Nominal exchange rate variables and religious diversity variables were found to have a negative effect on tourism demand in Korea. We have confirmed that religion is an important factor in choosing tourist destinations for Filipino, Thai, and Malaysian tourists visiting Korea, and they choose religiously similar destinations.

현대인들은 다양한 관광과 여가의 개념을 갖고 있기 때문에, 주말이면 각 고속도로의 톨게이트는 상ㆍ 하행선이 번갈아 복잡해지는 현실에 처해 있다. 또한 관광의 개념도 바뀌어져 새로운 복합적 관광자원을 관광의 대상으로 삼고 있다. 따라서 이런 복합적인 기능을 가진 관광자원인 동굴의 가치를 살펴보는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구 결과 동굴은 자연 관광자원과 인문 관광자원으로서의 특징을 모두 갖춘 복합적 경관을 갖고 있기 때문에 ‘복합 관광자원’ 으로서의 구분할 수 있다. 이런 동굴의 특징은 예술성(지하 경관의 신비성), 종교성(원시종교의 유적성), 유용성(동굴 탐험장ㆍ 핵 폐기물 처리장), 학문성(지구과학ㆍ동굴학ㆍ관광학)으로 요약할 수 있다.

This research examines the push and pull factors of temple stay in Korean national parks. 152 participants of temple stay in Woljeongsa and Guryongsa in national parks in Gangwon-do area completed a survey to access their reasons for participating in temple stay(push factors) and to evaluate how well the visiting experience performed on a selected set of attributes(push factors). Demographics of respondents were similar to the visitor characteristics of Korean national parks. The result of factor analysis identified 6 push factor domains of 'self actualization', 'health enhancement', 'nature assimilation', 'relationship elevation', 'religious experience', and 'leisure experience'. 6 pull factor domains were 'recuperative quality', 'quality of a temple stay program', 'attributes of a temple', 'user convenience', 'tourism experience' and 'accessibility and transportation'. Satisfaction level of temple stay in a national park was very high of 4.71 in a 5 Likert scale. Gangwon- Do was most preferred with the percentage of 89.2 as a suitable area for temple stay in a national park. Findings of multi-dimensional tourism motivations of temple stay in a national park that encompass nature tourism, cultural tourism and religious tourism is expected to provide useful information for the future development of a more competitive temple stay program and a marketing strategy. However, more defined successive research work is required to generalize findings of wellness oriented push and pull factors of temple stay based on nature in national parks.

Temple stay has increased fast in the quantitative part recently and it is tourism goods with cultural value as a kind of religion tourism. It is thought that the qualitative development is accompanied with quantitative development at this time. So, in order to increase qualitative improvement, it is needed to confirm mutual relationships among religious involvement, satisfaction factors of performance and behavior intentions of people who takes part in temple stay. Also, this paper confirms whether statistical characteristic of population affects religious involvement or not. 3 assumptions are established for these purposes and all of 3 established assumptions are partly adopted through statistical analyses.

The concept of pilgrimage is a phenomenon that appears in almost every major religion. It is traditionally defined as religious travel to a sacred external place for spiritual purposes and introspection. However, there are many different relationships between pilgrimages and religious customs, including excursions through abstract dimensions and regular journeys such as annual holidays. Because modern pilgrimages are taken for a variety of reasons, they are not limited to faith-based historical locations. Thus, many scholars also perceive pilgrimages as an increasing part of the general industry of tourism. These journeys are now studied in a diverse range of fields (e.g., ethnography and tourism). In this way, pilgrimages have created a new market from an industrial perspective. This economic analysis has resulted in secular interest. Pilgrimages can now be taken by gil (walkways), which have gained tremendous popularity. Thus, religiosity and humanity as they are embraced through pilgrimages are now receiving outside influences. This study therefore is aimed at generating suggestions for developing the pilgrimage routes related to Kang Jeungsan (i.e., the Supreme God of Daesoon Jinrihoe). These proposed Jeungsan routes are not simply restricted to religious activities or nostalgia, nor are they exclusively concerned with encountering holiness. To realize this idea, it is necessary to reconsider the concept of a sacred space.

계속되는 조명의 발달에 의하여 과거의 난방, 취사, 보호, 빛 등의 원시적인 기능을 수행하던 빛은 오늘날 다양한 기능과 사회적 역할을 담당하게 되었으며, 도시의 축제적 요소로서 사람들에게 유희적 기능을 제공하게 되었다. 이러한 축제요소로서의 빛은 종교적 행사로서 의미를 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지역의 이미지 향상 및 홍보효과, 지역주민에게 주는 지역에 대한 자긍심효과, 관광사업 활성화에 따른 경제적 파급효과 둥의 다양한 효과를 가져오고 있다. 유럽의 경우 모닥불이 18세기에 이르러 일루미네이션과 불꽃놀이 등으로 계승되었으며, 우리나라의 경우 신라시대부터 시작된 종교적 행사인 연등제와 정원대보름을 기원으로 한 들불축제가 과거부터 오늘날까지 이어져 내려오고 있다. 유럽에서 시작된 폭죽, 조명을 이용한 빛축제 또한 우리나라의 각 지자체를 중심으로 불꽃놀이와 루미나리에라는 이름으로 개최되고 있다. 또한, 사천시의 창선삼천포대교는 다리의 경관조명을 설치함으로써 지역을 홍보하기 위한 조명축제로 자리매김하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라의 다양한 빛축제의 사례를 분석하여 앞으로 빛축제를 활성화하기 위한 기초 자료로 제시하고자 한다.

There has been a growing demand for spiritual education in public education in recent years. In fact, the concept of spirituality was included in the national religious curriculum in 2022. However, compulsory spiritual education based on the national curriculum is different from individual or private organization-based spiritual education which can be characterized as voluntary. This article aims to discuss the potential problems that may arise when making spiritual education compulsory in public education. This discussion includes the expansion of spiritual discourse and the scope of spirituality, the contents and examples of spiritual education, and the implications of compulsory spiritual education. My perspective on this topic is that the religious curriculum, being a national curriculum, should be applicable to all schools and learners. The channels for expanding spiritual discourse include studies for measuring each individual's spirituality or religiosity and spiritual tourism. Both exclusive and inclusive spirituality coexist within spiritual discourse. Furthermore, spiritual educators criticize knowledge-based education for its tendency towards romanticization, while overlooking reflective education in national religious curriculum. Additionally, the normative nature inherent in the concept of spirituality is often overlooked, despite the potential recurrence of problems seen in faith-based education. This article suggested that the minimum principle for the nation's religious curriculum should be that "religious or normative knowledge is not to be injected or delivered but rather reflected upon." This principle aims to provide an opportunity for learners to reflect on their religious experiences or lives subjectively. When this principle is applied, spirituality becomes the object of reflection and selection for learners. Above all, learners with reflective thinking skills will be able to live independently, even if their experiences and lives change. We hope that this article will serve as an opportunity to continually reflect on the form of religious education found in public education.
