현대 관광과 시공간 소비의 의미 변화

The Meaning of Modern Tourism and Changes of Time-Space Consumption -Focusing on Development of Time-Space into Resource and Commodity and The Consumption of Personal Experience-

인간은 시ㆍ공간의 변형을 통해 삶의 다양한 의미를 탄생시킨다. 특히 시간 확보 및 공간 이동을 담보로 하는 관광은 인간 삶의 가치 영역 변화에 중요한 영향을 미쳤다. 관광은 개인 중심의 정교한 문화적 지각과 자연, 다문화 등에 대한 체험욕구 확대 등에 기인하여 더욱 발달하고 있다. 특히 그것은 체험 소비 산업으로서 그 정체성이 확장되고 있다. 관광자는 제한된 시간 내에 최적의 체험을 제공하는 관광 상품을 구매하고자 하는데, 이는 체험 소비의 합리화 현상으로 일반화시킬 수 있다. 요컨대 관광은 문화 영역의 산업화 경향을 통찰할 수 있는 대표적인 사회적 산물이라고 할 수 있다.

Human beings create various meanings of human life through transformation of time-space. And they try to make a variety of experiences, tensions, and balanced interpretations. Time and space is an important element and axis to generate culture along with materials. This concept dealt with by researches in the area of labor also began to be applied as an important issue in the area of leisure in modern society. In particular, tourism that relies on security of time and spatial movement is closely related to changes in this temporal and spatial area and the stream of awareness among members of society. Since movement is a prerequisite for tourism, time-space is a basic property of tourism and entertainment. To get with the transition into post-industrial society, we began to see entry into the tourism market based on individual preferences and satisfaction. This is a phenomenon occurring because of changes in behaviors among tourism consumers due to personally-based delicate cultural perception and the increased needs for experience of consumption, nature, and multi-culturalism. Tourism gradually has its identity changed into the experiential industry to meet the changes in tourists' needs. Tourists also intend to purchase tourism goods providing the optimum experience within a limited period of time in the area of capital. It can be said that tourism is a typical social product to give insight into the trend of industrialization in this cultural area.
