ABSTRACT

According to Burtler’s thesis, a resort or a tourist destination follows a certain path of development stage, drawing S curve. With a thesis that the growth of tourist destination will end off at sometime in the future, this paper examines the historical trend of visitors to Jeju island, the biggest one in Korea located off the southern west coast of the peninsula.Authors set up the most plausible time path model to the growth of visitors in Jeju island during the last 41 years. With the findings, this paper examines the prospective tourist growth path of the island. For the determination of five development stages of the destination based on Butler’s hypothesis authors apply iterative derivatives of the suggested logistic equation.
