AB - A region’s competitiveness cannot be reduced only to tourism resources or tourism infrastructure because regions must cope with political, social and cultural dimensions. Therefore, regions need to provide an environment that has the most efficient structure and policies that encourage the integrated cultural tourism competitiveness of regions. This paper is to analyze how Gyeonggi Province manages the totality of its cultural tourism-related competencies to achieve increased prosperity within the integrated framework. It provides an access to competitiveness related to the cultural tourism, ranking regions on the basis of 55 criteria, each analyzing a different facet of a cultural tourism competitiveness. Major findings show that Beijing is the most competitive region among compared regions. The weak competitiveness of Gyeonggi mainly results from poor tourism infrastructures. The results imply that the policy priority should be toward the expansion of tourism- related infrastructure and construction of U-tour city to enforce Gyeonggi’s cultural tourism competitiveness.
