해양생태관광 활성화 사례연구: 새만금・모잠비크 생태관광 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

Marine ecotourism should establish regulations for environmentally friendly activities related to tourism resources, so that marine tourists can develop an eco-friendly awareness of the natural environment impacted by climate change. It is necessary to ensure that marine tourists visiting ecotourism sites can have a positive perception of those sites. By understanding the marine ecosystem throughout the four seasons, one should be able to appreciate the charm of the area with each seasonal and climatic change. We must strive to find a successful model based on marine ecological tourism. Policies and support should be implemented to differentiate between areas where marine leisure tourism is thriving and those where marine ecological tourism is active, aligning with the broad marine tourism industry. In the case of Vilankulo, Mozambique, mentioned in this study, small festivals utilizing locally produced oysters and sales at local restaurants should be planned to create jobs and generate income for the local community beyond just fishing and marine leisure tourism activities, and the medium to long-term plans for Saemangeum should be designed to coexist. The production and consumption of eco-friendly resources for marine ecotourism should be planned to ensure sustainability. Through an understanding of the marine ecological environment and climate change, one should be able to fully comprehend the culture of the visiting area. These efforts require new interpretations and approaches suitable for the environmental conditions of marine tourism in our country, which is limited by seasons. In conclusion, when we recognize the importance of marine ecology and transform it into a form of tourism, marine ecotourism will become familiar to tourists, and various technologies related to it will be developed and advanced.
