The analysis is based on the Korean Input-Output Table, which is based on the demand driven model and the industry linkage effect. As a result, the production inducing effect was 0.5508 won for medical industry, 0.9268 won for personal service, 0.7738 won for tourism industry, and 0.6861 won for wellness tourism. The add-value inducing effect was 0.2171 won for medical industry, 0.3137 won for personal service, 0.2512 won for tourism industry, and 0.2224 won for wellness tourism. The medical and personal service industries are analyzed as the raw industrial of final demand, and the tourism and wellness tourism industries as the raw indistrial of intermediate demand. The private service industry is expected to generate more production and value-added inducing effect than medical and tourism industries and to find a way to link up with the personal service industry when setting up the development of wellness tourism. The economic ripple effects of wellness tourism will increase when the tourism industry is linked with the medical and personal service industry contents that can induce domestic production and attract consumers. In order to increase the localization rate of the medical industry and the personal service industry, R&D and technology development support measures should be prepared.
