일제하 조선총독부의 관광정책

Abstract

Modern tourism under colonial rule of Chosun had started with aggression to Korea by Japanese imperialism. This tourism had been heralded by 'An excursion group to Manchuria and Chosun', a Japanese overseas group tourism for the first time in 1906. However, this group was a tourism shown to Japanese and dispatch of Japanese observation group by Kyungsung Daily(京城日報) in 1909 was a tourism shown to Chosun by Japan. Therefore modern tourism under colonial rule of Chosun may be referred to be started objectively rather than subjectively. And it could be judged that colonial tourism policy after the forceful occupation of Korea by Japanese imperialism may show the characteristics of modern tourism policy under colonial rule of Chosun well as this policy had been used as a main means of colonial assimilation policy. Japanese imperialism after the installation of Governor-General of Chosun in 1910 had taken advantage of tourism as a colonial governing policy. In 1910, focus was given on overseas tourism based on Japanese observation and domestic urban tourism based on Kyungsung and in 1920, this tourism had been further strengthened as a way of fostering and winning new collaborators of colonial rule. Installation and operation of Korean intelligence committee, in particular, was intended to propagate justification of Korean rule by Japanese imperialism to the western society based on the U.S.A. rather than to simple Japanese observation and Korean tourism. Tourism policy in 1930th may be explained by divided into 1st period before the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 and 2nd period thereafter. In the 1st period, a policy of promoting tourism was adopted but its policy had been developed to the direction of restricting tourism. The reason for this policy change could be attributable to the Manchurian Incident in 1931, the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 and war execution process by Japanese imperialism after the Pearl Harbour Attack in 1941 and its consequences. As mentioned hereinabove, tourism policy of Governor-General of Chosun had been developed in line with Japanese colonial domination policy and it could be confirmed that the tourism had been adopted and utilized as a means of colonial domination policy, not as a simple leisure life or recreation as well. Therefore, it could be concluded that the modern tourism under colonial rule of Chosun would help understand 'modernity' or ' colonial modernity' more clearly in detail.
