This study cannot, however, represent all of Korea's tourist enterprises by the limit of sample groups, and its measure items and research variables are drawn on a basis of previous studies, so there is a limitation to be acceptable for all of the various factors the existing researchers suggested. It is considered, therefore, that the in-depth studies for various measure variables will be necessary about market environments and business strategies within the reduced operation ranges of tourist enterprises in the future
