The impact of low cost carriers on Korean Island tourism

Low Cost Carriers in China and its Contribution to Passenger Traffic Flow

“…For example, Graham and Dennis (2010) found that new LCC services increased the number of tourists to Malta in 2007 after the government provided incentives to attractive new airlines. Similar finding was reported in Chung and Whang (2011) on Korean Island tourism. It is worth noting that most routes in our study are not only associated with a large number of leisure travellers, but also a heavy presence of business passengers.…”

“…Our analysis shows that there is an urgent need for the government to remove the barriers and take actions to facilitate the growth of this new type of business. Chung and Whang (2011) argued that research on the impact of LCCs on travel demand yielded mixed results. Even though most research points to positive effects, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (2006) reported that the expansion of LCC services had little effect on the overall growth in air traffic.…”

International Tourists’ Perceived Sustainability of Jeju Island, South Korea

“…Although the private sector (i.e., tourism and hospitality enterprises) is largely interested in increasing visitor arrivals along with additional development of tourism infrastructure, the existing resources have demonstrated degradation via intensive land use [9]. Stakeholders such as residents along with private and public sector entities have been consulted to address growth concerns, as well as mitigation of impacts via sustainable practices [10,11]. As additional policies and objectives are further pursued, however, the roles of tourists and their behavioral actions have yet to be addressed.…”

“…Notably, a sustainability strategy with a focus on tourists could offer a competitive advantage, and enhance Jeju Island's sustainability performance [10,25]. Moreover, tourists' behavioral intention such as revisit and recommendation (i.e., positive word-of-mouth) can be another essential proxy to examine their perception of the destination (i.e., whether it is attractive enough to visit or recommend).…”

Dampak Masuknya Low-cost Carrier Terhadap Pergerakan Penumpang Internasional pada Bandar Udara Internasional di Asia

“…Sebagian besar menyatakan bahwa layanan LCC pada rute internasional menyebabkan meningkatkan jumlah penumpang atau wisatawan internasional (Chung & Whang, 2011;Di Giacinto & Migliardi, 2014;Donzelli, 2010;Graham & Dennis, 2010). Sedangkan hasil penelitian lain menyimpulkan bahwa dampak ini sangatlah kecil, tidak signifikan atau hanya berdampak pada rute-rute tertentu saja (Authority, 2006;Zhang & Findlay, 2014).…”
