This study aims to propose measures to consistently induce Chinese tourists who represent the largest percentage of inbound tourism from foreign countries, utilizing raw data of 2015 Korea International Visitor Survey conducted by the Korea Culture & Tourism Institute under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Differences and influence factors for overall satisfaction on travel in Korea, intention to revisit Korea, and intention to recommendation were analyzed by demographic characteristics and tourism characteristics of Chinese consumers. As a result of analysis study, it came out that there are differences between overall satisfaction on travel in Korea and intention to revisit Korea by age and job of demographic characteristics. Among the tourism characteristics, there are differences in intention to revisit Korea depending on purpose of travel, intention to revisit Korea and recommendation according to route of travel information search, and there are differences in all three categories according to type of travel. The most important factor of all three category was identified as 'Food' factor and the second most influential factors were immigration procedures, security, and tourist attractiveness. It is suggested that more active research and improvement efforts are needed in the government, industry, and academia in order to attract Chinese tourists in the future.

Busan is a world-class tourist city representing Korea, and more professional storytelling is needed in the development and promotion of products. The purpose of this study is to convey the image of Busan using storytelling techniques to foreigners, and then examine the correlation between the intention of purchase and oral intention of the related tourist souvenirs. A survey of 162 foreigners was conducted. The results showed that storytelling exposure and visiting experience on tourist sites and the design of tourist products have a certain correlation between the intention of purchase and oral intentions. Attractive souvenir design, visiting experience in the region and storytelling in the area involved are expected to contribute positively to the revisit of foreign tourists and the attraction of potential tourists. This study is meaningful in that it provides a new direction for promoting Busan tourism products, and in the future, the district will conduct additional verification for tourism cities other than Busan to verify the research hypothesis extensively.

A total of 155 respondents participated in the survey targeting Korean citizen for the present study. Single regression, multiple regression, and independent t-test were conducted for data analysis. The result of the single regression indicated that country image is a critical predictor of cross-border shopping intention. The Multiple regression revealed that among three factors composing country image, social-cultural image plays the most significant and economy-technology image plays the second-most significant role in influencing cross-border shopping intention. However, it was found that citizen image does not play a substantial role for some reason. Moreover, the result of t-test showed that those who have a prior visit experience to America are more likely to buy products online from America than those who don't have prior visit experience.

웹이 대중화 되면서 웹 사이트 개발의 초점이 개발자가 아닌 이를 사용하고 평가하게 될 사용자에게 맞춰지게 되고, 그에 따라 사용자가 쉽게 배우고 빨리 인식 할 수 있도록 개발하는 유저빌리티의 원리가 웹의 사용성을 향상시키는 데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 본 연구는 웹 유저빌리티 요인인 컨텐츠, 디자인, 네비게이션, 상호작용성이 TAM의 지각된 유용성과 지각된 이용용이성을 매개로 고객 재방문 의도에 미치는 영향력을 검증함으로써 TAM을 확장하였다. 이 모형은 인터넷 서점을 방문한 경험이 있는 180명의 설문으로 LISREL분석이 사용되었다. 결과는 디자인을 제외한 컨텐츠, 네비게이션, 상호작용은 웹유저빌리티의 중요한 변수로써 지각된 이용용이성과 기각된 유용성을 매개로 재방문 의도에 영향을 맞는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
