주민 주도의 지역관광 활성화를 위한 법적 과제

Tourism projects have been focused on increasing the number of tourists visiting the region. This is because it was recognized that when the number of tourists increased, consumption in the region increased and the local economy was revitalized. Until now, tourism projects have been carried out in a uniform form centered on the central government, and have been promoted centering on large-scale facilities that can attract more tourists than local characteristics. However, there has been widespread recognition that the existing tourism business cannot guarantee sustainability and that it is difficult to create the expected business. As decentralization accelerated, the emphasis began to emphasize that residents participated and lead the policy from a simple passive position to a more active position. As a result, tourism has emerged as a sustainable tourism in which local residents run tourism business and induce local and tourists to revitalize the economy. Tourism Doure is a symbol of resident-led tourism projects, and since its implementation in 2013, the number of Tourism Doure cases has been increasing every year. However, the legal basis for tourism is weak because the tourism-related legislation does not stipulate any special regulations on resident participation or initiative. For the continuity of tourism and the vitalization of resident-led tourism, it is necessary to prepare basic regulations in the Tourism Promotion Act and to amend the tourism promotion ordinance on the premise of resident-led tourism for each local government. It is necessary to stipulate capacity-building education between the central government and local governments for the Tourism Doure PD, which plays an important role in the operation of the Tourism Doure. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a basis for local governments to participate and support from the beginning so that resident-led tourism is sustainable. Beyond the participation of residents, tourism led by residents can be said to be a practical implementation of decentralization. In the future, research on the legal system that residents can lead and sustainable tourism can establish, centered on Tourism Doure, will need to be actively discussed in the future.
