관광 동기나 관광만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 주로 분석한 기존 연구들과 달리 본 연구는 방한 중국인 관광객 수에 영향을 미치는 정치적, 경제적, 문화적 요인을 분석하였으며 특히 정치적 요인을 관심변수로 살펴보았다. 실증분석 결과 중국의 정권, 양국 간 회의나 회담 횟수, 양국 정상 간 전화통화 횟수, 한중 FTA(경제적 요인이기도 함)의 발효 등 정치적 요인이 방한 중국인 관광객 수에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 경제와 관련된 정치적 우호성(FTA 발효)은 정치적 분야에서만 우호적인 분위기를 형성하는 요소들보다 더 가시적으로 방한 중국인 관광객에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 정치적 요인과 더불어 한중 FTA와 같은 경제적 요인, 그리고 한국화장품으로 대변되는 한류와 같은 문화적 요인도 방한 중국인 관광객 수에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 국립한글박물관 외래관람객 중 방문비중이 높은 미국, 일본, 중국 세 국적별 외래관람객들을 대상으로 방문행태, 전시시설 및 서비스 개선사항, 전시콘텐츠 및 전시서비스품질에 대한 만족, 전반적인 전시관람 만족 및 행동의도 간의 연관성 분석을 통해 주요 국적별 외래관람객들의 방문활성화 방안을 모색해 보았다. 분석결과, 세 국적별 외래관람객들의 방문행태 간 차이를 보였으며, 전시시설 및 서비스 개선사항은 미국인과 일본인 관람객은 '외국어 안내체계', 중국인 관람객은 '체험 프로그램'이 가장 개선되어야 할 사항으로 나타났다. 또한, 전시콘텐츠 및 전시서비스품질에 대한 만족도는 미국인 관람객의 만족도가 일본인 및 중국인 관람객의 만족수준 보다 높은 경향을 보여 국적별 차이를 보였다. 아울러 국립한글박물관 관람을 마친 후 전반적인 전시관람 만족 및 관람 후 행동의도 간의 차이에서는 미국인 관람객의 만족과 행동의도 수준이 일본인 및 중국인 관람객에 비해 다소 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 외래 관람객들의 국립한글박물관에 유도하기 위한 컨텐츠 개발 등 방문활성화 방안을 제시하였다.

Purpose - The current study examines the shopping behavior of Chinese tourists who purchase Korean cosmetics when visiting Korea, based on expectancy-disconfirmation of shopping satisfaction and brand attitude toward Korean cosmetics. A moderating effect of consumer conformity on the relationships between cosmetics selection factors and two dimensions of disconfirmation - expectation and performance is also examined. Research design, data, and methodology - We conducted a survey with 250 Chinese tourists who visited Jeju, Korea and had purchased Korean cosmetics during their stay. Excluding 43 respondents' inputs because of incomplete answers and missing values, 207 responses were used in the final analysis. All hypotheses were tested using structural equation model (SEM). Results - We found that the Chinese tourist expectations had positive impact on their satisfaction, and the factors for cosmetic selection had a positive effect on shopping satisfaction and brand attitude. A moderating effect of consumer conformity was found to be significant. Conclusions - Given the significantly increased demand for Korean cosmetics from Chinese tourists, Korean cosmetics firms need to better understand cosmetics selection attributes and preference of Chinese tourists, which can provide a guideline to develop retail stores and distribution outlets for Chinese tourists.

본 연구는 외국인 관광객들이 인식하는 한식에 대한 이미지와 서비스 품질의 차이를 조사하였다. 특히, IPA를 이용하여 외국인 관광객들이 인식하는 한식 서비스 품질 속성들에 관한 우선고려대상을 파악함은 물론, 이들이 국적별로 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 중국, 일본, 미국 관광객들을 대상으로 한 설문조사가 진행되었고, 최종적으로 316개의 유효설문지가 분석에 이용되었다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과는 세 가지로 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 한국 전통음식이 체질에 맞는 우수식품이라는 인식은 미국인이 동양문화권인 일본인과 중국인 보다 높은 것으로 확인되었고, 색과 모양의 아름다움에 대한 인식은 중국인과 미국인이 일본인 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 한식 서비스품질 속성들에 대한 중요도와 실행도는 국적별로 뚜렷한 차이가 나타났다. 특히, 한식의 영양, 모양, 건강성, 음식관련이야기, 재료와 조리법에 관한 중요도 인식은 중국관광객들이 일본, 미국관광객들에 비해 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한식 서비스 품질 실행도에 관한 인식차이는 국적별로 좀 더 명확하게 나타났다 셋째, 국적별 관광객들이 인식하는 한국음식 서비스품질에 대한 IPA 결과, 공통적으로 음식점 시설/분위기의 개선이 우선적으로 필요한 사항이나, 국적별로 약간의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
