ABSTRACT

Tourism study in Korea has evolved so much quantitatively as well as qualitatively. However, we still need to establish the identity of Tourism study academically and the standards of curriculum for education. This paper is to examine the point of issue which may affect on erecting general principles of tourism sciences. Authors observe recent research trends in which 60% of research are sorts of theory of Business administration followed by 10.8% of Economics and 4.8% of Sociology. It is clear that Business administration account for the largest proportion of tourism research. Secondly, in terms of curriculum, university curriculum in Korea has many problems academically and practically compared with university curriculum in foreign country. Writers thus arguably one need 'general principles of tourism sciences' as a guideline for better research and education.
