This study was conducted to diagnose the overall trends and problems of local tourism development projects, which have been promoted under public initiative for the past 10 years, and to seek implications for future regional tourism development projects on a reflective basis. The culture and tourism resource development projects of Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism was analyzed through the text network analysis. The trends of major projects were identified and visualized as network maps. The results showed that many hardware and software projects have been carried out under the themes of ‘culture’, ‘theme’, ‘ecology’, ‘experience’, and ‘history.’ In addition, 'road' related projects have been sporadically developed by a number of similar types of overlapping projects. Meanwhile, by analyzing the connection between 'park' and 'culture', which have the highest frequency and centrality, it was confirmed that 'park' is connected with nature-oriented keywords and 'culture' is connected with comprehensive keywords. Finally, based on the results of the research, we provided suggestions for efficient public-led regional tourism development projects in the future, including a distinctive tourism development plan with regional and topical differentiation and the selection of specific and clear project names.

This study focused on the social exclusion of residents that occurred in the process of the tourism destinations project of living spaces. In addition, an indicator was developed to enable social exclusion research in the field of tourism. In-depth interviews with residents, expert survey, and survey of residents were conducted. This study was conducted in Gamcheon culture village in Busan metropolitan city. The indicator development process was carried out in a total of 14 steps through the process of extracting initial items, developing indicators, and evaluating indicators based on previous research. A total of 24 social exclusion indicators have been developed. There are two major academic implications for developing indicators. First, it laid the foundation for studying the exclusion experiences of residents in the tourism development process. Second, measurement indicators supplemented the limitations of existing indicators in other academic fields by including a number of dynamic aspects and contents covered by objective and subjective indicators. This study presented two implications from a practical point of view. First, it provided a foundation for empirically measuring the social exclusion of residents when promoting tourism development projects. Second, the basis for policy diagnosis on the effects of tourism destinations projects in living spaces was provided. These practical implications can serve as an opportunity to examine the negative effects of future tourism development projects. In addition, the developed indicators can be found meaningful in that they can be used as basic data for policy inspection.

This paper examines the characteristics and various network structures of tourism products as cases of the local inbound tourism supply process on the tourism cities of Korea. The analysis unit was based on the stages of the tourism supply chain (production, distribution, consumption and management) on the suppliers' perspective, the network surrounding the tourism supply chain, and the stages of tourism behaviors on the consumers' perspective (before, during, after the tour). As a result, the supply process of tourism products was confirmed to diversify the strategic market, switch from package tours to free individual tours(FIT), expand representative tour courses, increase of direct sales channels, and strengthen the management system. It was confirmed that the network and structure of the tourism supply chain were divided into public and private areas, that the system for developing and distributing tourism products was systematically equipped, and that it formed an ecosystem as an organization rather than a one-way value chain. The characteristics of tourist products in each stage of tourist behaviors showed that the quality of commercial value and playfulness were strengthened, and the efforts to expand monitoring to induce revisits were marked. The academic implications of this study suggest an integrated framework for inbound tourism products. Practical implications describe the direction of tourism products and the role of each stakeholder.
