Abstract
As the concept of open innovation becomes more widespread, the resolution of societal issues through collaboration with various entities is also required with the promotion of open data in tourism. However, there are only a few local tourism associations that are currently collaborating with each other, and hardly any attempts have been made to turn the citizens’ rich knowledge and information of tourism into open data sets. In this study, it was attempted to create open data sets using citizens’ tourism information to promote tourist attractions. In this paper, the promotion of open data through citizen collaboration, including volunteer tour guides, and the creation of open data sets of tourism information provided by tourists will be discussed.
