• Resumen

  • This study is an attempt to calculate the short- and long-term demand for tourist accommodation facilities at Mt Paekdusan/Changbaishan, located at the border of Korea and China, which is becoming a popular international tourist destination in Northeastern Asia. In light of the rapidly increasing demand, substantial accommodation facilities are required at Mt Paekdusan/Changbaishan. This paper suggests a method for calculating the optimum number of guest rooms at Hwapyung resort, World Peace City and Song Kang resort. There are two major objectives: first, to estimate the demand of tourists in the Paekdusan/Changbaishan area and to forecast the short- and long-term demand; and, second, to calculate the numbers of tourist accommodation rooms required based on the supply and demand and assumptions.
