People who are satisfied with tour sites will revisit those and recommend those to other people to visit. As a result, those tour sites will attract more tourists. The introduction of consumer satisfaction concept into tourism management is very critical for Kangwon province since tourism industry plays an important role compared with other industries.

This study empirically investigates the antecedents and outcomes of choice satisfaction in the context of choosing and using the broadband Internet network services. Hypotheses are tested with regression models analyzing a survey data of 481 consumers of the broadband Internet network services in Korea. Our results show that choice satisfaction is affected by choice contexts while service satisfaction is not. Choice satisfaction is as important as service satisfaction for formation of switching intentions whereas it is less important for formation of recommendation intentions. Also, consumers characteristics are reported for those whose service satisfaction and choice satisfaction are not consistent. Choice satisfaction is a distinctive concept different from service satisfaction. Marketers can make consumers more satisfied not only managing delivery of services but also by managing their choice contexts. That will increase the loyalty of their consumers. This study finds unique determinants of choice satisfaction. Further studies are needed to clarify boundary conditions regarding the effects of choice contexts on choice satisfaction.
