There are four kinds of tourism resources. Those resources are based on Nature, Cultural heritage, Society and Industry. Social resources are the tourist environment. Social resources have various aspects of tourist attractions. For example: People, their way of thinking, life style and religion. These find their expression in culinary specialties, architecture, fashion and cultural activities. Social tourism can develop in these fields and visitors can enjoy their stay in a particular society. This will be the source of tourism. An well-organized social tourist strategy emphasizes on safety during the visit, wel-coming, hospitality, attitude of the host country. Without improving the level of social tourism resources, Tourism Industry can not develop as it wants to go. In the Korean Tourism Industry there are many factors which can be developed through the social tourism resources. To improve and develop the Korean social tourism resources we need to educate people about the awareness of Tourism, Legal control to limit excessive competition between travel agencies, positive promotion abroad, tax reduction for tourism related businesses and permanent education for tourist employee and employment of only licensed tour guides for the quality of the tour. Korean tourism industry can growing up only when we are conscious of our own social and cultural identity and put value on it.
