Purpose - The objective of the paper is to explain both the price sensitivity of international tourists to South Korea and the price sensitivity of Korean tourists to international travel. The study examines long-run equilibrium relationships and Granger causal relationships between foreign exchange rates and inbound and outbound tourism demand in South Korea. Research design/ data / methodology - The study employs monthly time series data from January 1990 to September 2010. The paper examines the long-run equilibrium relationship using the Johansen cointegration test approach after unit root tests. The short-run Granger causality was tested using the vector error correction model with the Wald test. Results - Hypothesis 1 testing whether there is a long-run equilibrium relationship between exchange rates, inbound and outbound tourism demand is supported. Hypothesis 2 testing whether exchange rates lead to a change in touristarrivals and expenditure is not supported. Hypothesis 3 testing whether exchange rates lead to a change in tourist departures and expenditure is supported. Conclusions - The findings of this study show that the impacts of tourism price competitiveness are changing quite significantly with regard to destination competitiveness. In other words, the elasticity of tourism price over tourism demand has been moderated.

Indonesia has successfully increased its ranking to 40th place in the 2019 Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index. While tourism has become the country's second largest foreign exchange contributor, there is no existing competitive advantage model for Indonesian tourist destinations. The purpose and novelty of this study is to develop and formulate a competitive advantage model for Indonesia's tourism industry. The model will be based on the supply-side perception analysis of competitiveness indicators from Bali and five designated super-priority destinations in Indonesia. This model is expected to become a guideline for policymakers to design an effective and focused strategy. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with, and questionnaires given to, 62 qualified industry players from the public and private sectors. This data-driven approach builds a relationship between competitiveness indicators and competitive advantages using a combination of importance-performance analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, thereby leveraging these advantages to generate a strategic model to compete in the international tourism industry. This would also be the first study to use this method in defining the competitive advantage of a destination. Using structural equation modeling, the study found that there are 54 indicators representing twelve dimensions of competitive advantages with good fit criteria.

Recent trends in business are characterized by recognition of the importance of knowledge assets. Especially, this phenomenon is receiving more momentum as our society goes digital rapidly. The concept of Knowledge Management has long been used as an effective way of restructuring the management process of a firm. In literature regarding knowledge management, a number of successful cases were reported, where knowledge-based management activities could dramatically enhance a firm's strategic performance for years. However, there exists very little research investigating the effect of knowledge management on corporate competitiveness. Researchers as well as practitioners need more rigorous results about such issues, especially how much the knowledge management strategic initiatives may have an influence on the firm's competitiveness. In this sense, we need an empirical study adopting statistical approaches due to the existence of abundant knowledge management case studies. To fill this research void, this study proposes a research model testing whether knowledge management activities could improve corporate competitiveness. We collected 321 valid questionnaires from participants in knowledge management activities in the tourism industry and applied a structural equation model. Empirical results showed that knowledge management activities have a positive impact on knowledge management efficiency and finally corporate competitiveness. We hope that this study will shed light on further rigorous studies considering tourism industry as a major strategic activity.

This study analyzed the strategic importance of fashionable products in order to increase the tourism allure of Seoul. Data were collected from the 758 foreign tourists visiting Seoul from Japan, China, and the USA. The survey was statistically analyzed by chi-square, regression, and ANOVA method. The fashionable products were found to be the most frequently shopped product category and the clothing product was identified to be the most preferred. The retail store area with the greatest market share was identified as Myundong. Product satisfaction with fashionable products is identified to have a positive relationship with tourism satisfaction and royalty to Seoul. A strategic focus on fashionable products is recommended for an increased tourism competency.

Smart tourism technologies are becoming ever more pervasive and an increasing number of destinations and hospitality establishments are investing in smart tourism initiatives. However, while governments and businesses around the world are aggressively pushing the smart tourism agenda forward, smart tourism research initiatives are still in their infancy and seem to not fully cover the whole spectrum of smart tourism-related issues and questions. This paper conducts a systematic review of existing smart tourism literature to determine the status quo of smart tourism research and to identify research gaps. Considering the steep growth of smart tourism initiatives starting at the beginning of this decade, this paper reviews publications on smart tourism over the last 8 years. All publications for which the keyword "smart tourism" appears in the title, keywords or abstract were included in the sample.

본 연구는 동북아 크루즈관광시장의 성장에 따라 최근 급증하고 있는 국내 기항 크루즈상품 이용자의 관광만족도 분석을 통하여 국내 크루즈항만도시의 관광경쟁력 제고방안을 마련하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 2012년 크루즈관광객 실태조사 결과를 토대로 방한 크루즈관광객을 중국어권, 일어권, 영어권으로 구분하여 관광만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 각 언어권별로 관광지 일정, 출입국 절차, 교통, 쇼핑 등에서 관광만족도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 향후 크루즈 항만도시별 마케팅 전략 수립에도 이러한 특성의 반영이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 크루즈 관광객 유치증진 및 크루즈항만 활성화를 위한 관광마케팅 전략 수립과 더불어 크루즈관광산업 육성정책 마련에 유용한 정보를 제공한다는 측면에서 큰 의의가 있다.

본 논문은 국내 골프관광시장의 활성화방안을 통한 관광수지 개선을 모색하고자 우리나라 골프산업의 경쟁력 분석과 골프관광 수요예측분석을 실시하였다. 골프비용 비교분석을 한 결과, 우리나라에서의 골프비용 및 골프용품들은 경쟁국가들 보다 가격경쟁력이 현저하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 심지어 동남아시아 3박4일 골프관광가격(항공료와 숙박료 등을 모두 포함한 패키지 가격)이 한국에서의 주말3회 골프라운딩 비용보다 더 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 현행제도와 규제완화 시 골프관광 경제적 효과를 비교 분석한 결과, 현행제도를 계속 유지한다면 과도한 조세부담으로 인하여 골프산업 경쟁력 약화, 관광수지 적자를 가중시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 골프산업의 경제적 중요성과 잠재력은 현재 우리나라의 경제적 위기상황을 고려할 때 시사점을 주고 있다. 즉, 골프산업을 둘러싼 차별적인 조항(지역적 차별 업종별 차별 산업별 차별) 등을 완화할 경우 국내의 해외골프관광의 국내전환효과와 외국인 골프관광수요의 증가로 인한 관광수지는 지속적으로 개선되어 2012년에는 약 5천억원에 달할 것으로 추정되고, 신규 고용창출효과는 2012년에 약1만 7천명, 2015년에는 약 6만명에 달할 것으로 추정되어 골프산업을 둘러싼 다양한 규제완화는 우리나라 골프산업의 경쟁력 강화는 물론 현재의 경제위기를 극복하는 데 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.
