Travel industry in Korea has growed quickly in quality and quantity since the liberalization measures. However, some travel agents tend to copy the travel services and packages developed and offered by other agents. This has caused the disturbance in the structure of distribution. For this reason, it is essential to introduce the certification for excellent travel services and packages. If such a system is introduced, consumers will have the opportunity to choose the best one available. In addition, it will add in the development of domestic travel industry by acting publicity campaign for excellent services and packages both Korea and abroad.
There are several steps which must be taken to introduce and effectively settle the certification system for travel services and packages.
First, an method of assessment should be constructed. This method should be understood by travel agents and consumers.
Second, the government should give incentive to travel agencys which develop good travel services and packages.
Third, the government should be careful when they decide the area of application and select committee who will investigate which services and packages are the best.
In conclusion, the certification for travel services and packages will make a contribution to an increase in the rate of competition among domestic travel agencys. In order to maintain this, the government should continuously review travel services and packages and perform quality control and check on a regular basis.
