ABSTRACT

Tourism enacts a very important part in contemporary cultural consumption. For this reason, cultural factors are utilized as tourism resources from both cultural and economical viewpoints. And, in this postmodern society, the tendencies to cultural consumption have became much more individualized and differentiated than ever before. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize cultural heritage as a tourism resource so as to respond to the market changes. This study aims to suggest some desirable plans to utilize Hwarangdo as a tourism resource. Since Hwarangdo has been considered the basis of Korean traditional thought and the root of Taekwondo, a lot of historical monuments related to Hwarangdo can be places of historical interest for Taekwondo enthusiasts and international tourists. And the Hwarangdo spirit can help fulfill educational ideas and lend some teaching methods to us. This study also aims to suggests some desirable plans to develop walking tour courses, facilities, and spaces for Taekwondo enthusiasts and tourists to use at the very places of historic interest related to Hwarangdo.
