  • Toward a (Sub)-Regionalization of South Korea's Unification Policy – the Proposal of a Romantic Road for Gangwon Province
    https://doi.org/10.33728/ijkus.2020.29.1.008 International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 29, No. 1, 2020, 189-216. Toward a (Sub)-Regionalization of South Korea’s Unification Policy – the Proposal of a Romantic Road for Gangwon Province Bernhard Seliger, Hyun-Ah Choi* 70 years after the start of the Korean War, the Korean Peninsula is still divided, and a peace regime is not in sight. The hopes of 2018, a year full of exciting summit diplomacy starting with the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang and culminating in terms of South-North relations in the Panmunjeom declaration of April 2018, have been dashed, and inter-Korean relations slid back to the familiar, but depressing pattern of stalemate and mutual recriminations. All initiatives taken as part of the Panmunjeom declaration, like the modernization and connection of railroad lines, are stalled or have failed. One reason for this might be that the approach taken for inter-Korean relations has always been highly centralized and focused on a few, large projects. These projects were prone to fail or were even, like in the case of the Iron Silk road, non-starters. The current debate to allow individual tourism is a reaction to overcome this centralized approach. Another important way to decentralize unification policies of South Korea is the sub-regionalization, i.e. the active involvement of provinces, counties and cities in unification policies. While there has been some precedent, like the mandarin shipments from Jeju province, the discretion for action by provinces or counties has always been very small.

December 13, 2012 Motivation “If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.” ― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights Mankind has always had a pure connection with nature and all of its elements. No matter how far society has gone, it has always come back to the one thing which is not lost by the passing time. No matter though how much hardship we put ourselves in, without the occasional escape in an unaltered environment, the world would seem too dark. The following dissertation was written in the final phase of my master studies of Tourism Destination Management, at NHTV, Breda University of Applied Science. My research focused on how the simple process of bathing has evolved into a very profitable industry, in current times. This research was conducted in order to see if it the results can be applied to a destination which already has an existing Spa industry, but has forsaken it because of a series of unfortunate events.

  • 151 the Values, Perception and Attitudes of Potential Domestic
    The values, perception and attitudes of potential domestic tourists regarding the medical tourism offer of Romania 3 4 ILE Larisa-Florența¹, HOLOSTENCU Luciana-Floriana², ȚIGU Gabriela , DIACONESCU Vlad Editor: Constantin MUNTEANU, E-mail: [email protected] Balneo and PRM Research Journal DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10 .12680/balneo.2021.435 Vol.12, No.2 June 2021 p: 151–164 Corresponding author: ȚIGU Gabriela, E-mail: [email protected], 1,2,3,4. “Bucharest University of Economic Studies”, Bucharest, Romania Abstract Introduction. Apparently medicine and tourism have represented for a while distinct domains, both in terms of research and even in popular culture. While medicine is widely known as dedicated exclusively to healing and treating patients suffering from various diseases, tourism, popular since ancient times in relation to healing, is based on a person’s motivation towards obtaining a pleasant experience in optimal conditions that already require the existence of a good state of health. Considering the emergence of new challenges in medicine, mostly in terms of demand, there is a phenomenon of directing preferences or needs in order to obtain medical services in a relaxing touristic environment. Due to the rapid development of medical tourism, we consider opportune to study this phenomenon, both from the perspective of a social and economic impact and from the need to reorganize the tourism activity, emphasized with new forms and modern concepts. Material and method. As a limited number of research can be found related to medical tourism, and generally covers travelling for medical treatments or interventions, and also a few publications are dealing with theoretical aspects of this form of tourism, the main purpose of the article is to bring a scientific contribution to the global field of medical tourism, especially regarding the tourist expectations and attitudes towards an internal medical tourism offer.

    Annals of the „Constantin Brâncuşi” University of Târgu Jiu, Economy Series, Issue 2/2012 SPAS – A SOLUTION TO RELAUNCH ROMANIAN TOURISM MUNGIU-PUPĂZAN MARIANA CLAUDIA LECTURER, PHD STUDENT, "CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI" UNIVERSITY OF TARGU JIU VASILESCU MARIA JUNIOR ASSISTANT, PHD STUDENT, "CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI" UNIVERSITY OF TARGU JIU Abstract: Spa tourism represents that type of tourism, regularly used by a broad range of tourists, motivated by people’s wish to maintain or regain health. Romania has a high natural potential for spa treatment of various diseases, given the background of available resources. Romanian subsoil currently contain over a third of the European mineral water resources, and an important number of unique or mineral resources very little spread throughout Europe: mofettes of Oriental Carpathians, sapropelic mud from Salt Lake or Techirghiol. Romania's climate is particularly suitable for therapeutic treatments, including areas with tonic, sedative, marine and saline bio-climate. Keywords: spa tourism, tourism recovery, tourism competitiveness JEL Classification: Q20 1. Introduction Romania was an important tourist destination for zonal market, promoting, especially, coastal tourism products, spas, cultural programs and monasteries in northern Moldavia and Bucovina. Romanian tourism supply has not changed over time becoming uncompetitive in relation to tourism demand requirements and to similar tourism products on the international market. Tourist reception structures and especially leisure offer are outdated, uncompetitive, tourism services and programs are achieved in a stereotypical manner and of modest quality and the quality and price ratio is inconclusive. Therefore, in the last 20 years have seen a steady decrease in foreign tourist demand for Romania. To enter the international tourist competition, we need to modernize, recover and develop Romanian tourism and to create modern tourism products, competitive for the market.
