This study examines the structural effects of three basic factors related to the tourist destination development(TDD), i.e. tourist demand, tourism supply, and destination community, on the Investment for the TDD and on the final implementation of the TDD. To achieve the above goal, theoretical model composed of three exogenous constructs dealing with three basic factors and two endogenous constructs including the variable of the TDD investment and the TDD implementation are proposed. 204 questionnaires from a survey of quota-sampled investment-concerned groups, public and private, linked with 23 tourist enclaves in Jeju Island was analyzed, and the proposed hypothetical model was validated with a structure equation modelling procedure by the LISREL program. From the result of structural equation model the study model developed in this article was supported.

Based on Wright’s model of Intergovernmental Relations this paper analyzes changes of stakeholders’ role involving Kumgangsan(Mt. Kumgang) tourism development project, Author adopted nonschedule-structured telephone interview in which, as a kind of qualitative method, allowed interviewees are asked to speak free for any topics within study boundary. The results indicated that there were some changes of stakeholders’ relations in the progression of Kumgangsan tourism development.

This paper investigates economic impacts of a cultural event, the 2000 Kyongju World Culture Exposition on the Kyongju economy. Along with a strategy maximizing the local spread effects, author analyzes tourism multipliers effect of the cultural festival with interviewing event visitors, residents and shop keepers who were involved with the Exposition. Based on Keynsian ad hoc multiplier model author shows that the mean value of tourism multipliers for various types of accommodation was 0.515 while the multiplier of those relying on budget accomodations such as inns and unfurnished private accomodations was as high as 0.584 and that of visitors accommodated in furnished resort condominiums was the lowest. Based on these results, author arguably maintains that a cultural event would be better held in or near the downtown area where accommodations, restaurants and other facilities are agglomerated so long as to maximize the economic effect to the economy while preventing leakage effect.
