This study examined the interrelationships among the importance attributes of bicycle tourism in terms of satisfaction and behavior intention. Previously, there had been no focus on Bicycle Tourism that affected local tourism development. This research has shown that bicycle tourism provided different tourism experiences and activities. Furthermore, local communities expected to have more bicycle tourists who would be willing to visit local travel places. Empirical data were collected along bike paths in the regions of Yang Pyeong and Gyeonggi-do using an on-line survey. A total of 301 questionnaires were analyzed using a Structural Equation Model (SEM). The result of the study is as follows: Products, contents, accommodation, community, and infra factors influenced bicycle travel satisfaction and loyalty both directly and indirectly. More detailed theoretical and practical implications were discussed in the conclusion.

The purpose of this paper was to show that performing tourism products should not only aim to promote artistic value but also try to fuse various artistic genres as concepts of convergence to meet contemporary needs. Therefore, this paper examined successful elements of performing arts to show the possibility of attracting visitors in the future. It also examined Homi Bhabha's theory of hybridity, ambivalence and mimicry as a way of overcoming colonial influences on Western culture. The Non-verbal performance, “Fairy Tales of Flowers” enabled language barriers to be overcome. The paper also found a need to expand the genres of performance art as done in “Tales of Flowers.” In today's globalized world, it will lead to prospects of job creation and economic stimulus. Due to globalization, most countries want to develop their own products. This is because the spread of globalization leads to an inter play of cultural products that are enjoyed by consumers around the world. As a result, "Fairy Tales of Flowers" combined Korean dance, B-boy, Taekwondo, and Multi-media to increase competitiveness on a world stage. Cultural hybridity will be a leading and vital new component of our future multicultural society.

The purpose of this study is to classify an Integrated Resort Casino (hereafter IR) according to economic factors and then derive the resulting multipliers. The study examines IR competitiveness using an Input-Output Model (hereafter I-O Model). Based on previous I-O studies and I-O tables obtained from the Bank of Korea (2014), IR is classified into three major sectors: 1) casino, 2) tourism, and 3) convention with a further six sub-sectors being: shopping, restaurant, accommodation, convention, entertainment, and casino. This study derived six multipliers of output, income, value added, indirect tax, employment, and importation based on 27x27 industrial sectors where IR was disaggregated into six sectors. Results reveal that output multipliers of IR were relatively lower than in other sectors, whereas income and employment multipliers of IR were higher than in general and export sectors. The findings indicate that IR is more likely to generate income and employment, implying a labor intensive industry. The results of backward and forward linkage effects indicate that IR influences and receives impacts from other sectors moderately. Also, IR was found to have a strong effect on foreign exchange earnings as compared to major expert industry. Implications were provided in the conclusion section based on the results of this study.
