Project Reflection

As my project is drawing near to its end, I feel satisfied with the learning outcomes I've received throughout the project. Besides working on this independently, I have managed to streamline the project into something that is manageable within the time-frame, and I hope I will be able to communicate clearly what I wish to present when the time comes.

Social Impact
Considering what I have done and put together, my next steps adding further to considering returning and frequent visitors, is a long term overview about how tourism would impact Korea. While noting that the Hallyu Wave has brought a positive economical impact on Korea, from my experience seeing how Macau has transformed itself over the past 10 years into a Asian Las Vegas, this could be a leading insight to investigate on which may lead to seeing the big picture on tourism, beyond transportation.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Although not actively applied throughout the project, Maslow's figure of needs has been a guiding pylon as I conducted my field research with tourists.
