The purpose of this study is to provide the measures to develop ecotourism resources by analyzing ecotourism selection attributes. To do that, this study conducted a comparative analysis on revised IPA introduced by Vavra(1997) and Deng(2007) based on the empirical analysis using 311 valid survey answers collected from Halla Eco-forest. The results showed that ecological and natural scenic beauty, ecological and natural environment for comfort, safety for tour environment, congruence of tour environment with adequate temperature etc, convenience of using tour trail and convenience of using parking facilities are required to maintain its current standard. In contrast, diversity of information, adequate explanation of staff and interpreter, appropriate knowledge and expertise of staff and interpreter, an adequate level of facilities, an adequate arrangement of information facilities and expedited handling for request and inconvenience are attributes without priorities for further development. Consequently, this study provides results and implications for the measures to develop ecotourism resources by in-depth analysis on ecotourism selection attributes regarding Halla Eco-forest, an area that the previous research has not been actively studied.
