Tourism is often considered as one of the main industries to promote development and modernization in small South Pacific islands countries. In Fiji, this was recognized in the 1960s, and resulted in large-scale resort based tourism development in coastal areas. While tourism has obvious advantages to the economy, a lot of problems such as exclusive foreign control of the main hotels and resorts, considerable overseas leakage of earnings, the limited participation by indigenous resource owners, and localized environmental damages to reefs and mangroves are emerging. For sustainable tourism development, it is needed to set growth objectives and targets for tourism in terms of benefits to Fiji, and to concentrate support on 'Rural Tourism' such as community-based tourism that have lower leakage and put more into local economies. Through case study in this paper, to develop rural tourism at the local level, several recommendations are as follows: 1) to introduce various rural tourism programs such as experiencing Fiji's traditional culture, participating in activities, picking fruits and harvesting agro-products, 2) to enhance aggressive promotion and marketing strategies, 3) to build the capacity of local communities for improving the quality of tourism services, and 4) to provide the infrastructure for tourism business such as road accessing, water supply and disaster prevention.

Although moving sport tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the sport tourism industry, it is still lack of related-knowledge and academic studies. Hence, this study is conducted to explore the characteristics of moving sport tourism and to provide implications for sport tourism industry and future research. For this, ten participants who regularly participated in bicycle tours for the last 10 years were recruited for this study. The sample consisted of 9 males and 1 female. The average age of the participants was 44.6 years of which all but 2 had a full-time job. The average period of participating in bicycle tour was 7.9 years. For analysing data, content analysis approach was used. Interviews were tape recoded and data were multiple reviewed to identify the similar themes and to categorize them into conceptual constructs. Results suggest two requirements of moving sport tourism(moving and concurrent), three characteristics of moving sport tourism(self-directed, exploring, non-linear, purposive-riding, partial competitive, cultural touring) and two categories of moving sport tourism(full moving sport tourism and partial moving sport tourism).

국내관광 영역에서 관광 소비 주체인 외래관광객과 내국인에 대한 관광 트렌드 분석은 한국 관광시장 뿐 만 아니라 지역 및 정부의 관광정책을 수립하는 관계자에게도 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 이에 소셜미디어 상의 핵심키워드와 감성분석을 알아보고 향후 관광소비자의 커뮤니케이션과 정보를 통해 마케팅 전략 계획을 수립하고 국내 관광산업을 활성화시키고자 한다. 한국관광의 트렌드를 분석하기 위해 텍스톰(TEXTOM) 6.0을 활용하였다. 구글, 네이버, 다음이 제공하는 카페, 블로그, 뉴스 등을 대상으로 '한국관광', '국내관광'을 키워드로 하여 2022년 9월31일부터 2023년 8월31일까지 데이터를 수집하였다. 텍스트마이닝을 통하여 빈도순으로 핵심 키워드와 TF-IDF를 각각 100개씩 추출한 후, CONCOR 분석, 감성분석을 실시하였다. 한국관광 핵심 키워드는 관광지, 여행동반 및 행태, 관광동기 및 체험, 숙박형태, 관광정보, 감성 관련 등에 관한 단어들이 상위권에 노출되었다. CONCOR분석 결과는 관광지, 관광정보, 관광활동/체험, 관광동기/콘텐츠, 인바운드 관련 등과 관련된 5개의 클러스터로 구분되었다. 마지막으로 감성분석 결과 긍정에 대한 문서와 어휘가 높게 나타났다. 이 연구는 한국관광에 대한 텍스트 마이닝을 통하여 급변하는 한국관광 트렌드를 분석하여 내국인 뿐 만 아니라 방한 외국인에 대한 국내관광 활성화에 의미 있는 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

Recently, medical tourism is recognized as a high value-added industry because of its longer period of stay and higher expenditure than general tourism. In particular, although the number of medical tourists visiting Korea is increasing, the perception of Korean medical services is low. The purpose of this paper is to develop the app which, based on medical tourism type, recommends tourism destinations. Additionally, this proposed app can expand general tourism as well. It can provide tourists with medical information easily by sorting types tourists. Besides, as medical tourists normally stay long, we can take the advantage of post-treatment time. This app collects medical information data and tourist destination data, and categorizes the types of medical tourists into four categories: disease medical tourism, traditional medical tourism, cosmetic medical tourism, and recreational medical tourism. It provides medical information according to each type and recommends customized tourist destinations. User-based collaborative filtering is applied for tourist destination recommendations.
