The growth of South Korea’s tourism industry, in turn, has led to a steady growth in the number of international visitors to South Korea (hereinafter referred to as “Korea”). When visiting Korea, foreign visitors are likely to turn to smartphones as the most convenient tool for getting the information they need. A survey by Korea Tourism Organization found that tourists usually search for the information they need on their smartphones. This study was, however, based on the assumption that it is an application (hereinafter “app”) that can provide the most extensive tourist information about Korea. Thus, the study involves analyzing currently available services while centering on the “Visit Korea” app distributed by Korea Tourism Organization, and comparing it with other apps to come up with suggestions for improvement. Integrating Bluetooth 4.0-enabled beacons with mobile apps will provide travelers with useful services, convenience, and a variety of benefits. It is also an easier and more assuring method for administrators when they identify users’ data. As for the problems associated with beacons, incremental improvements are also being made. Combining the “Visit Korea” app with beacon technology will hopefully contribute to the further growth of the Korean tourism industry.
