A Study on Tourism and Accommodation for World cup 2002: In Case of Incheon

For the world cup 2002, it is required to focus our efforts on propagandizing Korean culture and providing chances for visitors to understand us correctly. Especially the games will open at various cities, Incheon has to prepare a lot for the event, developing new tour sites, accommodation facilities and also service manner for all Incheon citizens as well as tourism employees. So this paper suggests how to improve tourism and accommodation quality in Incheon, because this city was not well-known to the foreigners. As Incheon Airport newly opens, this city becomes the main Gate to Korea and connecting point to the world. The city authorities setup 7 projects including various tourism marketing and special events for the World cup. For example, Tourism complex in Yong-yu and Mu-eui, comprehensive tourism project for Kang-hwa, special tourist zone in Jung-gu, and character project for Incheon. In order to enhance the projects, it is highly required to establish investment environments, designate good hotel with low price and arrange home stays, and also systemize reservation and information, in addition, good tourist attraction such as various tour courses, special events, service quality, publicity and so on. In conclusion, all these will be accomplished only when all Incheon citizens as well as city authorities and tourism industry do their best for the World cup 2002.
