The smart tourism service provides services such as travel planning and tour guides to tourists using key technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, such as the Internet of Things, communication infrastructure, big data, artificial intelligence, AR/VR, and drones. We are developing smart tourism services such as recommended travel products, my travel itinerary, tourism information, and chatbots for tourists through the smart tourism app. In this paper, we develop a smart tourism service system that provides real-time location-based tourism information and weather information to tourists. The smart tourism service system consists of a smart tourism app, a smart tourism information system, and an IoT data collection device. The smart tourism information system receives weather information from the IoT data collection device installed in the tourist destination. The location-based smart tourism service is provided as a smart tourism app in the smart tourism information system according to the Beacon's UUID in the IoT data collection device. The smart tourism information system stores the Beacon's UUIDs received from tourists and provides a safe hiking service for tourists.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to develop two medical tourism system models which explain medical tourism phenomenon with a systemic approach. Design/methodology - This research was conducted by using a qualitative data analysis which mainly refers to previous references of medical tourism in the areas of tourism and medicine. Leiper's tourism system model was utilized as a conceptual framework. In-depth interviews with experts in the field were conducted in order to pretest the models. Findings - This research suggests a medical tourism system framework and a medical service provision framework. The first model presents medical tourism components and their relationships within a framework presented in a diagram. The second model shows the relationships among medical services required by medical tourists, the service providers, and service human resources along with movements of medical tourists. Originality/value - The first model presents a spatial composition of medical tourism components and their relationships, whereas the second model shows the linkage among medical services, the service providers, and relevant service human resources along with time sequential steps of medical tourists. These two models are complementary and may be used as useful tools to observe medical tourism phenomenon with a systemic and holistic approach. These two models may enable stake holders avoid unnecessary confusions and conflicts that result in duplication of government policies and a waste of budget and human resources.

The smart tourism service provides tourists with personal travel planner services and context-awareness-based tour guide services. In this paper, we propose the personal travel planner service that creates my travel itinerary using the smart tourism app and the travel planner system. The smart tourism app provides recommended travel products and POI tourist information used to create my travel itinerary. The smart tourism app also provides the smart tourism chatbot service that allows users to select POI tourist information easily and conveniently. The travel planner system consists of the smart tourism information system and the smart tourism chatbot system. The smart tourism information system provides users with travel planner services, recommended travel products, and POI tourism information through the smart tourism app. The smart tourism chatbot system consists of named entity recognition (NER), dialogue state tracking (DST), and Neo4J servers, and provides chatbot services as a smart tourism app. Users can create their own travel itinerary, modify the travel itinerary while traveling, and then register it as a recommended travel product to users, including acquaintances.

This study is a smart tourism research based on face recognition applied system that manages individual information of foreign tourists to smartphone. It is a way to authenticate by using face recognition, which is biometric information, as a technology applied to identification inquiry, immigration control, etc. and it is designed so that tourism companies can provide customized service to customers by applying algorism to smartphone. The smart tourism system based on face recognition is a system that prepares the reception service by sending the information to smartphone of tourist service company guide in real time after taking faces of foreign tourists who enter Korea for the first time with glasses attached to the camera. The smart tourism based on face recognition is personal information recognition technology, speech recognition technology, sensing technology, artificial intelligence personal information recognition technology, etc. Especially, artificial intelligence personal information recognition technology is a system that enables the tourism service company to implement the self-promotion function to commemorate the visit of foreign tourists and that enables tourists to participate in events and experience them directly. Since the application of smart tourism based on face recognition can utilize unique facial data and image features, it can be beneficially utilized for service companies that require accurate user authentication and service companies that prioritize security. However, in terms of sharing information by government organizations and private companies, preemptive measures such as the introduction of security systems should be taken.

인간의 수명연장에 따라 의료비는 꾸준히 상승하고 있고 이에 따라 의료관광시장도 급 성정하고 있다. 한국은 우수한 의료진과 의료인프라를 기반으로 하여 세계의료관광시장에서 두각을 나타내고 있으며 정부에서도 전략성장산업으로 육성, 지원하고 있다. 의료관광산업의 성패는 '의료정보'와 '관광정보'의 접근용이성에 크게 영향을 받을 수밖에 없다. 건강보험공단 등이 많은 의료관련정보를 보유하고 있고 관광관련기관에서도 많은 관광관련정보를 보유하고 있지만 이들 정보가 의료관광객에게 효과적으로 제공되지는 못하고 있는 실정이다. 여기서는 의료관광에 있어 환자와 정보가 의료분야와 관광 분야에서 전달되는지 에 대한 명확한 도표와 서비스 수요자와 공급자의 필요에 대한 것들을 설명하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 의료관광의 소비자와 공급자간에 원활한 정보소통과 효과적 서비스전달을 위한 의료관광 서비스시스템 디자인을 제안하고자 한다.

본 연구는 최근 급속한 관광서비스시스템이 변화하여 관광객이 겪는 시간 빈곤감이 관광의 질에 미치는 영향을 탐색적으로 고찰하였다. 최근 '시간 빈곤감(time poverty)'에 우울하다는 호소가 많다. 예를 들면 시간 빈곤의 느낌이 삶의 만족감, 긍정성, 그리고 마음 건강에 부정적 영향을 준다는 연구결과가 있다. 더불어 창의성, 업무 능력, 그리고 인간관계의 질마저 떨어뜨린다는 결과도 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 관광서비스시스템 변화에 따른 시간 빈곤감이 관광객의 만족도를 떨어뜨려 관광의 질(Quality)에까지 영향을 미치는 것에 집중하여 문헌 고찰을 하였다. 그 결과, 관광객의 소득수준에 따른 시간 빈곤감 및 이와 관련한 관광의 질 향상 정책을 시행하기 위해서는 소득계층별로 나누어 정부정책과 사업을 세밀하게 기획하고 고려할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 정부가 추진하는 근로자의 휴가지원정책에 다양한 시사점을 제공하였다.

Because of increasing anxiety about infectious diseases and the demand for contactless service caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become crucial for the tourism and hospitality sector to understand customers' psychological mechanism of contactless service during and post COVID-19. Thus, this paper proposes a conceptual model by integrating trust in the framework of the behavioral immune system. Interestingly, our study found that anxiety about infectious diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic has not only increased hotel customers' desire for contactless service and changed their behavioral intentions, but it has also impacted customers' trust in hotel service robots. Therefore, irrespective of how the hotel service environment changes, trust in technology has become the most fundamental factor for hotel customers' attitudes toward adopting technology. Based on the results, this paper provides salient theoretical and practical implications.

Recently, data analysis technology through artificial intelligence is attracting major attention in various industrial fields. In addition, with the increase in personal income, nowadays, the importance of heterogeneous leisure life is becoming more prominent. However, there is a problem that the tourism industry is not out of the traditional service framework. For the ultimate development of the tourism industry, it is time to provide more scientific and systematic tourism services. In this paper, various data analysis techniques in the field of computer science are applied to the field of tourism to realize next generation tourism services. To this end, the scope of this study is limited to the aviation service, and a natural ecosystem of the aviation industry for future-oriented services of aviation tourism that can improve the efficiency of aviation service gradually is established. The proposed method effectively solves the problems of traditional aviation services through data analysis techniques with artificial intelligence techniques in computer science. We expect that it will enhance the customized satisfaction of customers through personalized service and foster loyal customers in aviation companies through the method proposed.
