Abstract

This study examined the relationship among Interpreter's Role, Interpretation System, Interpretation Quality, and Tourist Satisfaction in ecotourism. As a results of the analysis, the following findings were obtained. First, the Interpreter's Role affects the Interpretation Quality, but does not affect the Tourist Satisfaction in ecotourism. Second, the Interpretation System affects Interpretation Quality and Tourist Satisfaction. Third, Interpretation Quality influences the Tourist Satisfaction. Finally, the Interpretation Quality plays a mediated effect between relationship Interpreter's Role, Interpretation System and Tourist Satisfaction. Nevertheless, the key to success in ecotourism is how to explain the interpretation to the tourist

이 연구는 생태관광에서 해설자 역할, 해설 시스템, 해설품질과 생태 관광자 만족의 관계 이외 해설품질의 매개역할을 밝히는 것이 연구목적이다. 연구결과 생태관광에서 해설자 역할은 해설품질에 영향을 미쳤으나 만족에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 생태관광 해설 예약과 프로그램과 같은 해설 시스템은 해설품질과 만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 생태관광의 해설 품질은 관광자 만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 게다가 생태관광 해설품질은 생태관광 해설자 역할과 생태관광 해설 시스템이 만족의 관계에서 매개효과가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이 연구 결과는 생태관광 해설사 역할만으로는 관광자 만족을 충족시키지 못하며, 물리적 증거가 생태관광 활성화를 위해 중요하다는 시사점을 제공한다. 결론적으로 생태관광 해설은 해설자가 관광객에게 어느 정도의 해설 내용과 프로그램으로 해설 품질을 제공하느냐에 그 성공여부가 달려있다.
