Opportunity identification is the core issue of entrepreneurship research, and it is also an important prerequisite for the development of rural tourism. Although entrepreneurial opportunity identification research has achieved more results, there is still a lack of empirical research on rural tourism single industry. Based on social capital and experience learning perspectives, using data from 139 “Minsu” in China, which is now officially called homestay inn in China, we empirically examine the effects of social capital and previous experience on entrepreneurial opportunity identification. The results indicate that scales of embedded network and resources of social network have positively effect on entrepreneurial opportunity identification. The results also show previous industry experience and functional experience have positively effect on entrepreneurial opportunity identification, while previous working experience has no direct effect on entrepreneurial opportunity identification. These results show that entrepreneurs have a denser and larger scale of social network, they will have higher alertness for the potential entrepreneurial opportunities. These results also indicate that the entrepreneurs have more previous industry and functional experience, they will recognize more entrepreneurial opportunities.

This study aims to assess Green-Tourism accessibility of Rural Experience Village and then prepare improvement methods. To do this study, we surveyed 25 operators of Rural Experience Village in Chungbuk. We used 21 issues in all for analysis and the following shows a summary of major results. Rural Experience Village has a generally hard time conducting facility maintenance. Countermeasures for maintenance are required to run smoothly. Since Rural Experience Village has difficulty attracting visitors to the village, countermeasures are needed to attract visitors through business promotion. The results of assessing Green- Tourism accessibility showed us that some villages are a lot more accessible than others. Therefore, it is necessary that there should be improvements of Green -Tourism accessibility by attracting visitors and increasing operating days so that Green-tourism accessibility can be enhanced. In spite of its high level of accessibility since Rural Experience Village belonging to Goesan has low profitability, it is especially imperative that we establish more positive project promotion to cover it.

The developmental process of a farm-stay village can be categorized into the period of six stages: 1) a conception stage 2) an adoption stage 3) a growth stage 4) an expansion stage 5) a stagnation stage 6) a recovery stage. Farm Stay Villages, Individual Farmhouses or Producer Groups can be placed in four different quadrant areas of a graph, depending on the pursuing direction and results of core values by having the X-axis for economic factors (public profits, individual profits) and by having the Y-axis for emotional factors (self-actualization, conflicts). The first quadrant area is designated for ideal individual farmhouses and producer groups for having achieved the status of economic self-reliant and high emotional satisfaction. The second quadrant is for ideal self-actualized communal villages having achieved the independent public interest and public profitable status. The third quadrant is reserved for villages experiencing communal conflicts and no economic self-reliant stagnant status.
