다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Our economy which requested relief fund from IMF (International Monetary Fund) is in a condition of near collapse due to shortage of reserves of foreign currencies. Securing foreign currency reserves which are in short supply now is believed as a shortcut for overcoming IMF regime and making the nation strong again. However our economic reality of processing imported materials and exporting them again is burdening our economy seriously because foreign currency itself which is required to pay for importation of materials is insufficient.
At this juncture it is required to concentrate our attention to tourist industry, in particular expanding induction of foreign tourists (large scale traveller groups for educational purpose) and examine it more carefully in, consideration of its great potentiality for contributing to our economy through earning substantial foreign currency.
Tourist industry is known as an industry with great ripple effect on many fields including economic one and with higher level of synergic effect than any other industries for this reason countries of the world are competiting for fostering their own tourist industry. In view of such global trend we are also placing emphasis on cultivating tourist industry, designated as a strategic industry, which is superior in terms of foreign currency earning ratio than any other industries. In particular, visiting Korea by large scale traveller groups for educational purpose will bring substantial income in foreign currency and its ripple effect upon our economy is also considerable hence this is a high time for doing our best to increase induction c f such foreign travellers from a national dimension.
In this connection Ministry of Culture and Tourism reaffirmed that tourist industry is a $quot;fourth industry,$quot; and $quot;industry without chimneys$quot; and is making a concerted effort for lifting restrictions and developing new policies. Even the president appeared on television commercial for advertising tourism in Korea thus government is doing its best for inducing foreign traveller to Korea by improving image of the country.
And the purpose of this treatise is to study measure for inducing more Japanese traveller groups for educational purpose to Korea to make more foreign currencies and contribute to economic progress of the nation through eliminating obstacles against inducing such traveller groups through concerted effort by first line workers for implementing government policies, tourism specialists and people working in tourism industry etc. for furtherance of goals of such policies.
