Abstract
In the aftermath of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in 1992, sustainable development has become a shared goal within the international community (Weaver 2005). In this regard, various possible directions for the future have been introduced, one of which has been the goal of bringing about sustainable tourism (Luchman et al. 2007). Sustainable development has been defined as development which meets the needs of present-day tourists and host regions, while protecting and enhancing opportunities for the future. This has been envisaged as leading to the management of all resources in such a way that economic, social, and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecology processes, biological diversity, and life-support systems (WTO 1992). In addition, various alternative forms of tourism have been suggested to replace the commercially oriented tourism of the 1980s, one of these being the notion of eco-tourism suggested by Hector Ceballos-Lascurain.
This paper is a modification of the article ‘Eco-cultural resources and regional activation of maritime area’, which was written in Korean with English abstract and published in the Journal of Korean Society of Rural Planning (2007; 13(3): 61–72).
