Abstract

Factor analyses were performed on 58 national fishing ports in Korea, with respect to their latent tourism potential, and they were classified as festival sightseeing type, marine products sale type, natural sightseeing type, and fishing port-dependent type. Then, cluster analyses were performed to examine these fishing ports from the perspectives of natural environments type, marine products industry function type, festival culture type, and complex sightseeing type. The results of our analyses showed the most important contributing factors were production quantity of fisheries products, festival, cultural tourist sites. Therefore, measures are required to enhance fisheries industry bases for maintaining the function of fishing grounds, and projects for improving the environment, such as purification of harbor water, are necessary.
