The competitiveness of a country or a city plays an important role as a determining factor in this age of globalization.

In spite of the importance of competitiveness in tourism studies, few researches have been done on competitiveness in Korea. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to conduct a comparative analysis of competitiveness between coastal metropolitan cities in Korea-Busan, Ulsan and Incheon-developing tourism index and finding out urban competitiveness. The findings of this study will contribute to enhancing tourism promotion and mutual network with other cities and attracting domestic and international tourists.
