This study investigates e-service quality of online travel agency and influence on relationship quality and Reuse. The individual Chinese tourists with experiences using online travel agencies were chosen for the study. The survey was carried out at Jeju International Airport, which is the most frequently used by Chinese tourists visiting Korea. Data were collected for 7 days from July 15, 2019 to July 21, 2019. A total of 320 tourists were attended in this research and finally 300 samples were used for empirical analysis. The result of the study showed that e-service quality of online travel agencies all factors(convenience, individuality, accuracy and price attractiveness) influences on relationship quality all factors(satisfaction, trust) and the factor 'accuracy' was analyzed as the biggest among them. Moreover satisfaction and trust factors of all sub-factors of relationship quality influences on reuse. In the future, we intend to provide basic marketing data for Chinese tourists using online travel agencies to officials and practitioners. Particularly, focusing on the tourism behaviors of individual Chinese tourists, we are going to propose effective business cooperation plans and strategic alternatives with online travel agencies.

본 연구는 온라인 여행사를 이용한 중국 개별여행객을 중심으로 e-서비스품질이 관계품질과 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구대상은 방한 중국 여행객 중 온라인 여행사 이용 경험이 있는 개별여행객으로 선정하였으며 중국여행객들이 가장 많이 이용하고 있는 제주국제공항에서 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료 수집은 2019년 7월 15일부터 2019년 7월 21일까지 7일 동안 이루어졌다. 총 320부를 배포하여 최종 유효한 설문지 300부를 분석에 사용하였다. 연구결과, 온라인 여행사의 e-서비스품질 요인이 관계품질(만족, 신뢰)에 미치는 영향에서는 e-서비스품질의 편의성, 개별성, 정확성, 가격매력성 모든 요인이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 만족도와 신뢰도 모두에 '정보의 정확성'이 가장 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 파악되었다. 온라인 여행사의 관계품질과 재이용의도의 영향관계에서는 모든 하위요인인 만족과 신뢰 요인들이 재이용의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 향후 온라인 여행사를 이용한 중국 여행객에 대한 마케팅적 기초자료를 관계자와 실무자들에게 제공하고자 한다. 특히 중국 개별여행객들의 관광 행동을 중심으로 효과적인 온라인 여행사와의 업무적 협력관계 방안과 전략적 대안을 제시하고자 한다.
