Joint business development combining KTH GIS implementation and Jeju National University's tourism know-how

Jeju National University (President, Heo Hyang-jin) and KTH (CEO Oh Se-young) announced on the 8th that they have signed an agreement on technology cooperation and joint business development in the field of GIS-based smart tourism and agreed to cooperate for the development of ICT-based GIS services and the advancement of Jeju tourism services.

Through this agreement, the two companies have agreed to jointly utilize their expertise and information in the fields of ICT and tourism development to develop and implement ICT-based GIS (Geographic Information System) services. Key areas of exchange and cooperation include: ▶ establishing GIS and tourism platforms for smart tourism services; and ▶ identifying and cooperating on GIS-based business projects.

KTH plans to actively utilize its proprietary GIS capabilities, such as the operation of Olleh Map and Olleh Navi, to build a GIS for Jeju tourism. KTH builds and operates the Olleh Map data and platform, and has developed solutions specialized in geographic information and spatial data, such as 'Geotrend' and 'Daisy', a large-scale data analysis and recommendation solution, which it provides to various public institutions and companies.

Jeju National University established the GIS Center in 2004 for the purpose of training GIS education personnel. As a hub university designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it conducts personnel training projects and carries out spatial information exchange and cooperative research through industry-academia collaboration. In 2016, we plan to actively develop GIS-based tourism service discovery projects.

Both companies expect that by combining KTH’s GIS implementation capabilities and Jeju National University’s know-how in developing local and tourism information, they will be able to actively participate in various GIS-related business sectors necessary for tourism businesses in the Jeju region.

"Expanding GIS-based infrastructure and services is crucial for the development of the tourism industry in Jeju Island, the largest tourist destination in Korea visited by over 13 million people annually," said Jeong Hoon, Head of the ICT Division at KTH. "Through the cooperation between the two companies, we will contribute to Jeju Island's tourism industry by developing various business models that integrate ICT-based GIS technology with tourism."
