The Northeast Asia‘s economic hub includes Korea, China, and Japan. The conception of policy of becoming a hub country in Northeast Asia is also significant in that it intends to establish a network for mutual development with four dimensions-finance, logistics, tourism, and environment-connecting these three countries. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Singapore are being classified into the economic bloc of Korea, China, and Japan as Hong Kong enters the Chinese economic bloc. It seems to take Mongolian and North Korean economic blocs a substantial amount of time to enter this economic hub.
Those neighboring countries including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan are in a national level establishing extensive plans to capture a leading position as a business nucleus country in Northeast Asia; with such an environmental change in these neighboring countries, Korea is, though late, driving a strategy to be an international business hub actively by designating Incheon as a free economic zone with a 'Plan to Become a Business Hub in Northeast Asia.'
During this process, considered are functions and roles of Incheon International Airport, the real significance of development of Yongyu-do, Mu-ui-do, and Song-do Neo-city, the role of tourism development in this region in establishing free economic zones, and how to create a travel system essential for successful free economic zones in Incheon.
This study was conducted, considering that no new study made an approach to the problem of the travel system in free economic zones on which few studies were performed. In particular, the fact that few studies compared and analyzed the success of free economic zones and the potential for tourism and travel in similar free economic zones also motivated this study to start. Therefore, the study presents a problem that there is no international comparison of potential for travel between free economic zones and the travel system in those zones directly connected to the success of Incheon Free Economic Zones and seeks recognition of its value.
