The purpose of this study is to find out how to improve tourism competitiveness of cruise harbours in Korea by analyzing tourism satisfaction level of international cruise visitors to Korea, who are increasing rapidly as Northeast Asian cruise tourism market is growing up. In this study we analyzed the factors of effects on tourism satisfaction level by Chinese visitors, Japanese visitors and English speaking visitors respectively based on the results of "International Cruise Visitor Survey 2012". The results of this study show that the individual satisfaction level of port of calling & tour schedule, immigration procedures, transportation, shopping influenced overall tourism satisfaction level by countries. It implied that those attributes should be reflected hereafter when we establish a marketing strategy for each of cruise cities. This study has a great significance in that those results suggest useful information when we make plans not only for activating cruise harbours but also for cruise tour marketing.

우리나라는 중국과 일본을 연계하는 동서항로와 러시아에서 동남아시아로 이어지는 남북항로의 연계거점에 위치하는 입지적 강점에도 불구하고 국제 크루즈 시장 여건이 성숙되지 못했다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 국내 크루즈 관광의 현황을 짚어보고 일본 사례의 성공요인을 분석하여 크루즈 관광의 발전 방향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 기 수행되었던 연구보고서 및 데이트를 활용하였다. 조사결과 문화체육관광부 등 관계부처 협업을 통해 크루즈 관광 거점 구축, 단기적으로 인센티브를 활용하여 외국 선사 유치 전략과 더불어 중장기적으로는 자국 선사, 상품 구축 동시 병행이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

크루즈관광산업은 국제적 금융위기에도 불구하고 지속적 성장세를 유지하고 있으며 국제 크루즈선사들의 아시아 진출에 따라 동북아 크루즈관광산업은 최근 급속도로 성장하고 있다. 한편, 국내 크루즈산업은 크루즈항만을 중심으로 하는 수용태세가 미흡하며 국적 크루즈선사의 육성도 중국, 일본에 비하여 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 동북아 크루즈시장의 성장에 대응하기 위한 중장기 정책방향의 수립과 더불어 크루즈항만의 활성화전략 및 정책적 개선방안을 제시하였다.

친환경적이고 다양한 체험을 원하는 관광수요의 증가로 전라남도의 관광객은 꾸준히 증가 추세에 있어 지역 경제 활성화에 기여할 것으로 예상된다. 그러므로 남서해안 해양 관광 시대를 대비한 핵심전략 수립의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 남해안의 관광 활성화를 위해 섬과 해안선, 다도해 해상국립공원을 대상으로한 크루즈 관광 상품을 개발하고 사업화 방안을 연구하는 것은 남해안 해양관광 할성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에선 해양관광시대의 도래에 대비한 관광전략의 수립으로 크루즈 관광의 루트를 선정하고 크루즈의 신규선 건조 시와 중고서 구입의 경우의 사업성타당성을 분석하여 남해안 크루즈 관광의 사업화 방안을 연구하고자 한다.

The cruise tourism industry is viewed as a promising growth industry in the 21st century. But legislative framework to allow the cruise tourism industry to develop in China have not yet been fully prepared. Therefore, this study is intended to propose a industry policy for Chinese cruise tourism industry. The policies that Chinese central government implements that should drive growth for development of the cruise tourism industry are as follows: First, government must establish industry policy to slow cruise infrastructure construction. second, government must improve industry policy for attracting visits by cruise vessels. Third, the government must take steps to support cruise product development. Fourth, the government must take steps to support cruise business and social groups. Last, government must intensify the out abroad tourist screening system and cruise casino management.

Cruise industry in the world has been one of the most prosperous industries for the past 30 years and thus its effect is classified by both economic side incurred from its own tourism industry directly and indirectly, and another economic one from development of related-industries such as shipbuilding, heavy industries, and so on. Under these circumstances, it is evaluated that Korea will have good circumstances of activating the highly value-added cruise industries. In order to do it, this country will have to meet as follows: the significant investment in cruise infrastructure, the organization of North-East Asia cruise council, the building-up of cooperation between government and private, the improvement of cruise-related law and institution, the simplification of entry procedure for cruise tourists, the active development and public relation of cruise tourism industry, and so on.

The recent rapid increase of international ocean cruises calling at Korea has prompted the interests of central and local governments in promotion of cruise ship tour. Korea's cruise tour policies and facility improvement plans tend to be focused only on main ports of cities with high calls at cruise port, such as Busan, Incheon, and Jeju. However, small and medium-sized ocean cities which represent the coastal areas are also seeking to activate cruise ship tour and attract investment, and therefore they merit governmental support as well. This study looks at the current conditions of cruise tourism in small and medium-sized ocean cities and searches for the means to activate cruise tours. It suggests improvement policies for port services, transport accessibility, urban facilities and tour activity support, as well as expected roles of public and private sector. As a case study of Yeosu in Jeollanam-do, it analyzes the present state and discusses possible future activation programs, comparing small and medium-sized cities with cities with main ports. In order to be a port of call, steady exertions for improvement are required in all areas regarding cruise tourism whether it's main or local. Especially, since local ports in small and medium-sized ocean cities are relatively unlikely to be developed into home ports, policies and tourism programs should be established to support them in being chosen as ports of call.

As the transfer of cargo functions to Gwangyang Port is completed, Yeosu Port has established a vision to become a hub for maritime tourism in Korea. Revitalization of the marine tourism industry through cruise development is recognized as a major strategy. Major domestic cruise tourism ports (Busan Port, Jeju Port, Incheon Port) have established a basic plan for fostering port cruises in response to the "Basic Plan for the Promotion of the Cruise Industry" established in 2016. However, the plan for Yeosu Port is insufficient. The cruise tourism industry, which is in recession due to Corona 19, is expected to recover due to with-Corona and Post-Corona. Therefore, Yeosu Port needs to take the lead in promoting the cruise industry to prepare for this. Accordingly, this study intends to derive evaluation items for the fostering of the Yeosu Port cruise industry through prior research and the gathering of expert opinions. An IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) analysis is conducted to identify problems and suggest promoting policies for the Yeosu Port cruise industry. According to the IPA analysis results, in the major categories, the creation of cruise infrastructure, and the establishment of a support system were evaluated as weak items (high importance but low satisfaction), and sub-categories corresponding to the two major categories were identified as weak points. Based on the results of this analysis, measures to promote the cruise industry in Yeosu Port were presented as cruise infrastructure, route expansion, tourism product development, and support system. This study is expected to be utilized when establishing policies for constructing Yeosu Port as the hub port of maritime tourism in Korea.
