Moving sport tourism refers to travel that combines sport activity and tours to a particular destination. 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). Implications for sport tourism industry and future studies were discussed.

최근 한국관광공사를 비롯한 많은 정부기관에서 국민들의 다양한 아이디어를 수렴하고 이를 사업에 반영하기 위해, 쌍방향 소통이 가능한 온라인 아이디어 제안 커뮤니티를 구축, 운영하고 있지만, 운영 취지에 대한 국민들의 이해 부족과 당국의 관리 의지부족으로 활용률은 극히 저조한 상황이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 정보품질의 특성에 대한 선행연구를 바탕으로 (1) 온라인 아이디어 제안 커뮤니티 맥락에서의 아이디어 품질을 구성하는 핵심 특성요인을 도출하고, (2) 이를 다시 휴리스틱-체계 모델에 의거, 내용적 특성요인(가치성, 관련성, 참신성, 충실성)과 비내용적 특성요인(글의 길이)으로 분류한 뒤, (3) 고객 제안글에 포함된 내용적 및 비내용적 특성요인들이 온라인 아이디어 제안 커뮤니티 담당자의 지식수용에 어떠한 직접적 혹은 상호작용 영향을 미치는지에 대한 실증연구를 수행하였다. 한국관광공사의 관광아이디어뱅크에서 처리가 완료된 제안글 240개 전수 자료를 이용한 구조방정식모형 분석 결과, 내용적 특성요인 가운데 가치성, 관련성, 참신성이 담당자 지식수용에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 비내용적 특성요인인 글의 길이는 참신성이 담당자 지식수용에 미치는 영향에 대한 정(+)의 조절효과를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구는 e스포츠 경기관람이 개최지 지역관광의도에 주는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 가치-태도-행동 체계(VAB)와 공동브랜드 이론을 적용하여 e스포츠 경기관람객의 의사결정구조를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 e스포츠 경기를 직접 관람한 경험이 있는 중국인들을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고 총 311부 유효 표본을 수집하여 구조방정식 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 e스포츠 경기에 대한 태도는 개최지에 대한 태도에는 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 관광행동의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, e스포츠 경기의 선택속성은 개최지에 대한 태도를 증진시키며 관광행동의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다.

We develop a smart tourism information system that provides smart tourism services to free independent tourists (FITs) through various content distribution channels such as mobile apps, Instagram, YouTube, and chatbots. The smart tourism information system provides location and storytelling-based tourism information, accommodation, restaurant information, and recommended travel products so that tourists can create a travel itinerary based on personalized situation awareness. The smart tourism information system also provides smart tourism services using commercial maps, navigation, and weather forecast APIs from the Korea Meteorological Administration to provide smart tour guide services to tourists who travel according to the travel itinerary. In this paper, we develop the React Native app that provides smart tourism services provided by the smart tourism information system. The smart tourism React Native app has implemented two methods: a method that directly connects to the smart tourism information system, and a method that provides services by interworking through the GraphQL Query Language developed by META (Facebook). The smart tourism React Native app implements OSMU (One Source Multi-use) by providing tourism information from mobile apps, photos from Instagram, and drone videos from YouTube as an integrated UI.
