Smart tourism content is considered as a useful tourism resource for converting into an attractive tourist destination by providing new values in various tourist destinations as well as the changed tourism patterns due to COVID-19. However, there are still few successful cases of smart tourism contents that have secured economic sustainability. Accordingly, this study applied the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) to estimate the economic value perceived by tourists for smart tourism contents based on augmented reality to develop a smart tourism content development plan that can secure economic sustainability. As a results, it was confirmed that the lower the offered amount, the higher the awareness of the new value, the higher the likelihood of willingness to pay. Based on these research results, this study presented academic and practical implications for the development of smart tourism content that secured economic sustainability.

Then the data and hypotheses were examined using structural equation modeling(SEM) by AMOS. The results are as follows. Firstly, 'nature culture' factor has no effect on tourist perceived value. Secondly, 'convenience' and 'access' factor have positive effects on both functional value and symbolic value. Moreover, these factors have stronger effects on functional value. Lastly, tourist's functional value has a positive effect on loyalty while symbolic value has no effect on loyalty. The contribution and limitations of this research were discussed and the future possible researches were mentioned.
