The purpose of this research was to build the structural concept for the storytelling based tourist destination development model oriented to the urban tourist attractions. The model was structured on the relationship between tourist destination and its storytelling. Two tourism planning theories were reviewed as follows: place and organization cognitive approaches vs systematic theories. New model was suggested named the PLA tourism development model. It was basically composed of three factors, including point, line, and area. Each factor had its own characteristics, including the place and the its story. The resource inventory and the symbolic sign were suggested for each factor. Future research will make a broader tourist attraction inventory and contribute to the tourist map making representative of the whole regions of Busan.
