Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact relation among the visitor satisfaction, it's antecedents and the modification of images of Korea perceived by Chinese and Russian Tourists after their visits to Korea. According to the data analysis, the satisfaction of Russian tourists is higher than that of Chinese tourists within statistical significance. The result produced by structural equation model shows that the satisfaction of Chinese tourists is affected by destination attractiveness, public order, shopping, food and accommodations positively. Especially the public order and shopping of Korea are relative major attributes. In comparison, the satisfaction of Russian tourists is affected by only destination attractiveness, public order and food positively. Then again, the impact relation between overall satisfaction and the modification of images of Korea perceived by tourist visited Korea is affected positively within statistical significance.

본 연구에서는 한국을 방문한 중국과 러시아 국적 관광객을 대상으로 한국관광에 대한 전반적 관광만족도와 이의 선행요인, 그리고 여행 후 한국에 대한 이미지 변화간 영향관계를 분석하고 그 함의를 제시하였다. T-test 결과, 모든 영역에서 러시아 국적 관광객들의 만족도가 중국 관광객들의 만족도보다 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 구조방정식분석 결과, 중국 관광객의 경우 관광지 매력도, 치안, 쇼핑, 음식, 숙박이 전반적 관광만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 특히 한국의 치안과 쇼핑 등이 상대적으로 중요한 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 비해 러시아 관광객의 경우 관광지 매력도, 치안, 음식 등만이 전반적 관광만족도에 유의미한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 중국 관광객들과는 다소 차이를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 한국관광에 대한 전반적인 관광만족도와 여행후 한국에 대한 이미지 변화간의 관계에 대해서는 중국과 러시아 관광객 모두 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
