The aim of this article is to suggest a direction for the improvement of Korean Tourism Basic Act. The focus of this research is placed on the new direction of tourism law system and the restructuring of Tourism Basic Act.The analysis shows that the present tourism laws have not caught up with the rapid changes in tourism policy environment. Tourism Basic Act has rarely changed since it was established, so it fails to meet the demands and reflect major issues, such as values of international tourism, coordination of government tourism policies, sustainable development principle, and tourism cooperation between North and South Korea. Based on these findings, this research suggests following restructuring plans for tourism law improvement. Firstly, Tourism Basic Act should be totally changed in both form and contents. Secondly, values and spirits of international tourism-related declarations should be reflected in Tourism Basic Act. Thirdly, Tourism Basic Act should be a guideline for future tourism policy, such as rural tourism, ecotourism, sustainable tourism, and education tourism. Finally, Tourism Basic Act should be restructured for balanced development of inbound, outbound, and domestic tourism in Korea.핵심용어(Key words):관광정책, 관광정책환경, 관광기본법, 관광입국추진기본법, 관광거버넌스

This study attempted to identify ultimate value of serious bird-watching tourists’, using the means-end analysis which is also called laddering. Means-end theory deals with attributes, consequences, and values as basic content of consumer product knowledge stored in memory. The interview method used in this study is ‘hard laddering.’ Fifty seven birdwatching experts throughout Korea were interviewed to find out their ultimate value in bird-watching activity. The respondents of this study consisted of those who possess a high level of specialization in bird-watching, such as nature interpreters, environment-related civil servants, and bird researchers. The results of this study indicated that the most dominant linkage is ‘interest in birds’(A)-‘preservation of bird-related ecosystem’(C)-‘enhancement of nature preservation spirits’(V). This result implies that human beings should recognize the importance of nature and its preservation through bird-watching activities.핵심용어(Key words):수단-목적 사슬, 하드래더링, 탐조여행, 내용코드, 함축매트릭스, 가치 맵

This study examines a structural model of fiver basic factors related to carrying capacity, perception of crowdedness, emotional response, satisfaction, tolerance, and adjusting behavior. To achieve purposes of this study, a theoretical model derived from previous studies was adopted and empirically tested by means of a systematic sampling method. The sample of this study was collected from a survey at a fishing site in Donghae city. A total of 124 usable samples were collected for the analysis. Prior to the analysis of the theoretical model proposed in this study, tests for reliability and multicolinearity were executed. For the model test, regression analyses were applied. The results showed that those independent variables, explaining little influence of the emotional responses on the dependent variable, perception of crowdedness. There were, however, significant relationship among perception of crowdedness and satisfaction, some factors of emotional responses and satisfaction and tolerance and adjusting behaviors exerted a significant influences on satisfaction.핵심용어(Key words):혼잡지각(Perception of crowdness), 감정적 반응(Emotional response), 조정행동(Adjusting behavior)
