A Study Improving Tourism Japanese Education by Colleges

We are living in the era of trade war. Tourism industry accounts for important part in trade. Since tourism is categorized as service industry, fostering tourism experts is very important for the development of tourism industry. Thanks to the government policy of fostering tourism industry as key strategic industry for the nation, tourism business has experienced great improvement so far and is now viewed as one of the most prominent business sectors with further growth possibility in Korea. Due to the limited time given for the research, the study is not conducted for the universities nationwide and the scope is confined to tourism Japanese education given by tourism related industries of junior colleges and universities located in Kyounggi and Kangwon province. It does not provide accurate in depth analysis on regional differences. A survey on graduates of tourism related majors who are currently working in the field is not sufficient enough to cover whether the tourism Japanese education conducted in Korean junior colleges and universities is effective and efficient in the field. The theoretical limit of this part should be overcome so that more systematic and continuous follow-up research may be conducted.
