관광분야 규제정책 특성에 대한 분석적 논고

Abstract

This study analyzed the characteristics and perceptions of tourism regulations and suggested policy implications based on the history of introducing regulations under the Tourism Promotion Act. Findings showed the most changes in regulatory tourism policy in the 2010s, and economic and preliminary regulations were the most common in types and characteristics. In the case of preliminary regulation, there is a characteristic of securing procedural publicity as a law by regulating procedures necessary for tourism projects and development, such as actual permission and registration. As a result of the survey on regulatory perception, negative perception accounted for the majority rather than positive perception, which would be irrelevant to the fact that most tourism regulations are made like prior regulation. In addition, it was necessary to discover and improve the demand for regulatory rationalization reflecting the opinions of the regulated. Korea advocates a regulatory operation plan that reflects the rule of law and promotes regulatory policies under the principle of regulatory legalism. Therefore, when setting the policy direction of tourism industry regulation, joint efforts such as law revision should be accompanied to reflect the demand of stakeholders for regulatory rationalization. In particular, the government needs to foster a sustainable and healthy industrial ecosystem in the tourism industry by promoting appropriate regulations rather than unconditional deregulation.
