This study examines the determinant factors of ecotourist satis the relationship among variables. Especialy, the determinants which influence on ecotourist satisfaction were divided into expectat ion and ed from visitors to Wopo Wetland. The primary method of statistical an alysis to test the hypotheses was multiple regression and simple regression us ing SPSS 10.0. The results of study are as follows. Eco-experience, Eco- interpretation, physical atribute and usability which make up performance infl uenced ty on the expectation side not influenced disconfirmation and satisfactio n. Also, disconfirmation was significantly related with satisfaction.

This paper investigates the effects of five-day workweek and other forms of workweek on tourism demand using a class of maximum-likelihood regression estimators for count data. Estimators for the Poisson and modified Poisson models are illustrated. The analysis suggests that the zero inflated Poisson model(ZIP) is the most satisfactory of all those considered. On the basis of the results from ZIP, the five-day workweek variable may lead to a 14.0% increase in tourism demand, comparing to those working under six-day workweek. The effect of five-day workweek every two weeks on tourism demand is statistically null comparing to the counter part, while the demand of those not associated with this system decreases by 13.4%. The model was used to yield a total of 31.8 million visits as a net increase of tourism demand stemming from the five-day workweek.

Based on the image of longevity areas in Jeju Island, author examines strategies of how to connect them to tourism resources. He argues four strategy polices: First, to be successful in “Island of Longevity” images, it is necessary to establish firmly the ‘International Free City’ and an ‘Island of Peace’. Second, new tourism programs in the longevity areas must be contrived and connected with other sightseeing resorts to enhance the image of longevity. Third, a town for the aged as one of the leading industries in Yere, Seogwipo, is suggested to build and to foster the business for the aged. Fourth, besides the image of longevity, many other creative alternatives are needed to develop our tourism industries.
