This study was performed to find whether there is the difference of the perception to tourism impact between tourists and residents, depending on demographic characteristics and whether or not participation in festival programs, through visitors to Icheon Ceramic Festival. By the results of the positive analysis, tourism had influences on the culture, the environment, the contact, and the economy. And it was analyzed that the group of the tourists had the different perceptions to the cultural and the economic impact depending on the academic backgrounds, incomes, and whether or not the participation in festival programs, and that the group of residents had the different perceptions to economic impacts. Thus, to develop tourism impact affirmatively, the policy alternative for the more environmental impacts will need than for the cultural, economic, and contact factors.
