Abstract

This study aims at an analysis of the situation of the Korean Tourism Organization(KTO’s) translation and setting up the appropriate strategies of the Korean public organization’s translation to be a better tourism translation in Korea. To investigate the study, readers considered as a native speakers through all over the English speaking countries included U.S, Canada, Australia, England and the republic of South Africa were brought in as participants. And I analyze the process of translations on the Korean Tourism Organization, because the KTO could be a representative of tourism organization, public organization in Korea. As a result, TT’s(English) has a lot of mistakes in translation on KTO’s introduction of a good restaurant and good dish in English Text. Even though there are a lot of translators want to have a opportunity for translation, KTO does not have the appropriate route or way to find the proper translator to its’ purpose. In other words, there is needed a connectional organization between the public organization and good translator. As remarks of Kim Moon-kyung(2017), it can be difficult to manage connectional organization in personal, it should be controled by a government organization. If there exists the government organization which manage, connect or control between the translators and public organizations, there will be a synergy effect both of the sides. To be a good tourism industry country, Korea, we need to reconsider and set up the new translational connection organization of government in Korea.
