Abstract

Tourism or travel business consists of a set of services for people who visit exotic places. Payment is usually marking the end of the series of activities relating to tourism, and it becomes the linkage for the next activity. With the recent advancement of mobile Fintech technologies, we have learned that more convenient and more secure financial transactions are improving the quality of tourism. It should be noted that tourism counts on information technology heavily in terms of mobile Internet and smart devices use, which yields to a wide business opportunities for Fintech startups. However, payment information has not been highlighted for additional marketing promotion activities. The lack of research into information technology-based business models that extend Fintech services related to payment in venture start-up studies hinders the understanding of the possibility of creating new business through the value creation process after payment. This study attempts to investigate this issue based on the theory of smart tourism and service-dominant logic with developing a new information system. More specifically, marketing promotion activities after payment for Chinese tourists visiting Korea are examined. Specifically, WeChat Pay and instant tax refund service were considered while the system was developed by following desing science research methodology. This study is meaningful in that it finds a new possibility of Fintech business model by applying scientific and academic methods, and it reminds the necessity of service automation system centered on instant tax refund.

투어리즘 혹은 여행은 타지를 방문하는 사람들의 각종 서비스들의 집합으로 이루어진다. 결제는 이와 같은 활동들이 종료되는 시점을 표시하고 다음 활동으로 이어지는 접점이 된다. 최근 모바일 핀테크(Fintech) 기술이 발전하면서 편리하고 안전한 금융거래 서비스가 여행의 질을 높이고 있다. 모바일 인터넷 기술의 진보로 투어리즘은 정보기술에 더욱 더 의존적으로 변하고 있으며 핀테크 기술은 이때 유의미한 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 결제와 관련된 정보가 추가적인 마케팅 프로모션 활동에 활용되지 못한다는 점은 문제다. 벤처 창업 연구에 있어 결제와 관련된 핀테크 서비스를 확장한 정보기술 기반의 비즈니스 모형에 관한 연구의 부족은 결제 이후의 가치 창출 과정을 통해 새로운 비즈니스를 창발시킬 수 있는 가능성에 대한 이해는 저해한다. 이와 같은 측면에서 본 연구를 통해 스마트 투어리즘 이론(Theory of Smart Tourism)과 서비스 지배 논리(Service-Dominant Logic)를 중심으로 결제를 출발점으로 한 새로운 비즈니스 모델을 어떻게 설계할 것인가에 대한 답을 하고자 한다. 스마트 투어리즘은 정보통신 인프라를 바탕으로 지속가능한 최적의 관광 서비스를 제공하는 방법으로 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 보다 구체적으로 한국을 방문한 중국 관광객을 대상으로 결제 이후 마케팅 프로모션 활동을 수행하는 비즈니스 모델을 상정하고 타당성과 가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 이러한 목적으로 위챗페이(WeChat Pay)의 사용자가 세금 즉시 환급 서비스를 받고 추가로 e-Coupon(모바일 전자 할인 쿠폰)을 받아 사용할 경우 여행 만족도가 어떻게 변화되는가를 관찰하였다. 이 과정에서 디자인 과학 방법론(Design Science Methodology)이 채택되었다. 본 연구는 과학적이고 학술적인 방법을 적용하여 핀테크 비즈니스 모델의 새로운 가능성을 찾아보았다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있으며 세금 환급형 상품을 중심으로 한 서비스 자동화 시스템의 필요성을 환기시킨다.
