본 연구는 외국 관광객 유치를 위한 전략적 개선방안 모색 차원에서 한국을 방문한 외국인을 대상으로 한국 방문 선택요인과 그들의 국적에 따라 관광 결정 메커니즘인 만족도, 재방문 의사, 그리고 타인 권유 간에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 실증적으로 검정하고자 한다. 본 연구는 2021년 한국을 방문한 외국인을 대상으로 조사한 자료 중에서 방문 국가, 방한 선택요인, 만족도, 재방문 의사, 그리고 타인 권유를 조사한 데이터를 활용하였다. 조사자료는 8,000천 명이 넘는 대용량 데이터이지만, 결측치가 있는 응답치를 제외한 1,398개가 분석의 자료로 활용되었다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 방문 결정 선택요인과 방문자의 국가에 따라 관광 결정 메커니즘인 만족도, 재방문 의사, 그리고 타인 권유 간에 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유의미한 차이가 있는 방문 결정 선택요인으로는 레저·스포츠 활동과 자국과의 이동 거리인 것으로 나타났다. 한국 방문 결정 메커니즘이 상대적으로 낮은 국가로는 일본, 싱가포르, 중국, 대만, 말레이시아, 대만, 캐나다, 몽골, 인도로 나타났다. 이런 분석 결과를 토대로, 본 연구는 엔데믹 이후 본격화된 한국 관광산업을 활성화하는 방안을 제시하였다.

Objectives: This study was purposed to gain basic information for design of medical tourism for Japanese tourists using traditional Korean medicine (KTM). Methods: A questionnaire regarding Korean traditional medical tourism was administered to Japanese tourists. 224 valid responses were selected, and their awareness of KTM, preferred subject and decision factors for participation in Korea traditional medical tourism were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 version. Results: 23.6% of surveyees gave a positive answer on interest in medical tourism of KTM and 44.6% showed a middle degree. The most preferred subject was medical check-up followed by skin aesthetics, orthopedics and gynecology. Communication, medical skill level, hospital facilities and medical expenses were indicated as the important factor for participation's decision on KTM-based medical tourism. Conclusions: KTM-based medical tourism could be a driving motor of medical tourism in Korea.

This research aims to understand the role of online reviews in the local search context by examining the effects of reviews on the representation of tourism businesses on local search platforms (LSPs). By simulating tourists' local searches for restaurants on three LSPs, namely Google, Bing, and Yelp, this study examines how different ranking results are generated across the platforms and how online reviews contribute to the differences. The findings suggest that online reviews are incorporated into LSPs as ranking factors and, thus, affect tourists' decision-making by influencing the information search results in the local search context. As one of the earliest studies on local search, this study discusses how the existing knowledge about the role of online reviews in tourists' decision-making needs to be reevaluated in mobile and more dynamic environments, and offers practical implications for tourism businesses' search engine marketing.

The purposes of this study were to examine if a decision making by a tourist sequentially or hierarchically occurs in a tourism destination and to test determinants that have an effect on both a sequential and non-sequential decision making. An instrument for the study was developed with three steps. A total of 420 and 380 questionnaire were collected respectively for the first two round surveys. For the third step, a pilot test was conducted with 30 respondents. And the data analysis utilized SPSS 18.0. A logistic regression analysis with variables of tourism activity and demography was employed to investigate the factors that affect a sequence of decision-making process. As an important result, the higher the age of the tourist in a tourism destination, the more conspicuous the consumption expenditure is made through the sequential decision-making process. Additionally, it is unreasonable to apply the premises and assumptions in extant consumer behavior to tourist behavior. The process of decision making by tourists in tourism areas is driven by either non-sequential or non-hierarchical decision-making process. More discussion and implications were provided.

The purpose of this study was to assess the structure of the decision and the importance of the attributes in choosing food-related tour program. Questionnaires were developed in three languages- Japanese, Chinese, and English- given to 300 foreign tourists who have visited Korea in 2002. Statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS Win (ver 11.0) for descriptive analysis and conjoint analysis. The results of this study showed that the 'price' was the most important attribute (35.62%) in choosing a hypothetical food tourism program, followed by 'place' (27.35%), 'time' (26.01 %), and 'type of program' (10.22%). With respect to the relative importance values for each attribute by different groups, English- and Chinese-speaking tourists considered 'price' more than other factors, while 'time' was regarded as the most important factor for Japanese tourists. Therefore, it indicated the need to recognize the different needs among tourists and put these factors into consideration in developing the programs.

본 연구는 관광 소셜네트워크서비스(SNS)의 이용자인 관광객의 관점에서 SNS 수용 결정요인이 무엇인가를 파악하고, 도출된 수용결정요인이 SNS의 지속적인 이용의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 규명하고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 선행연구를 바탕으로 관광 SNS의 수용결정요인을 개인적 특성(자기효능감, 사회문화적 영향, 사회적 실재감, 개인의 혁신성향), 시스템적 특성(시스템 품질, 정보품질) 및 유용성/용이성 등으로 설정하고 이러한 선행요인이 지각가치와 만족도를 매개로 하여 지속적인 이용의도에 미치는 영향관계를 구조적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 부산지역에 거주하거나 부산지역을 방문하여 전시, 컨벤션, 숙박, 여행, 항공, 교통 등 관광활동과 관련하여 SNS를 이용해본 경험이 있는 250명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 실증적 연구 결과 관광 소셜네트워크서비스의 수용결정요인인 개인적 특성, 시스템적 특성 및 유용성/용이성 등의 요인이 지각가치에 각각 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 중 유용성/용이성 요인, 시스템적 요인, 개인적 요인 순으로 영향을 크게 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 관광 소셜네트워크서비스 이용 과정에서의 지각된 가치는 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치며 나아가 지속적 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 볼 때 관광객 관점의 SNS 수용결정요인이 고객의 지각된 가치와 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치며 궁극적으로 지속적인 이용의도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This exploratory research investigated the factors that influence foreign tourists' decision to use dental services in Thailand. The questionnaire was used to collect data from foreign tourists who used dental services in a hospital or dental clinic in Thailand. Data from 233 respondents completed questionnaires were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The findings revealed that respondents were most likely to be Asian (54.5%) followed by European (33.9%), females (64.8%) aged between 26-35 years (39.1%), business owners (45.9%), and came to Thailand with friends (47.6%). Regarding travel purposes and contact with dental services, most of them travel for pleasure (52.89%) and contact the clinic directly through the Internet(63.95%) The health/medical services used included health check-up (34.48%), dental services (29.22%), and day spa/massage (23.23%). The dental treatment that respondents had completed or planned to do included dental check-up (29.87%), tooth cleaning (26.68%), and tooth whitening (11.41%). Based on the influence of $_7P$ factors towards the respondent's decision to use the dental service, it was found that the average mean score range from 4.33-4.15 which were at the high to the very high level of influence to their decisions. The people factor had the highest average mean score (mean 4.33, SD= 0.604)followed by the price factor (mean 4.32, SD= 0.651), which both had the highest level of influence. The physical evidence factor had the lowest mean score (mean 4.15, SD+0.752) which was at the high level of importance. It should be noted that the factor concerning the modern technology and dental equipment (mean 4.33, SD=0.606) and factor on the quality of service (mean 4.43, SD= 0.598) had the highest mean score followed by the total cost of the trip including services being reasonable (mean 4.37, SD=0.582). Regarding the country factor, it was found that this factor also had highest influence level (mean 4.30, SD=0.67) and affordability had the highest mean score (mean 4.39, SD=0.614).
