해외 관광 상품의 개발과 촉진은 민간 외교부문과 국가이미지 제고뿐만 아니라 경제적인 측면에서도 중요한 변수이다. 또한 해외 관광 상품은 국내 관광산업의 활성화와 외국인의 국내 방문에도 긍정적인 효과를 줄 수 있다. 그러므로 여행 산업의 개발과 촉진은 특정국가의 경쟁력과 발전 기회를 제공하며, 다른 산업의 투자유치에도 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 해외 관광 상품의 서비스품질이 고객만족과 재 구매 의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 향후 관광산업의 경쟁력 강화요인을 검증 하였다. 연구분석 결과에서는 서비스품질의 유형성, 확신성, 공감성은 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 신뢰성과 반응성은 고객만족에 별 다른 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 향후 관광산업의 특성을 분석하거나, 해외 관광 상품의 주요 성공요인이 될 수 있는 변수를 개발하는데 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 외국인관광객의 의료관광 만족을 측정하기 위한 지표와 척도를 개발하는데 목적이 있었다. 우선 문헌고찰을 통하여 1차 에비항목으로 63개를 선정하였고, 다음으로 전문가를 대상으로 한 면담조사를 통하여 부적합한 9개 문항을 제외한 54개 문항을 2차 예비지표 항목으로 설정하였다. 이를 국내관광을 위해 방문한 외국인관광객을 대상으로 2012년 7월 1일부터 2012년 10월 20일까지 조사하였다. 외국인관광객 589명을 대상으로 요인분석을 한 결과 7개의 요인이 추출되었으며, 이 요인들의 누적 설명분산은 60.9%이었다. 의료관광 만족을 측정하기 위한 지표는 '의료서비스의 질', '대응성', '관광연계성', '공감성', '편리성', '신뢰성', '경제성'으로 명명하였다. 결론적으로 한국의 의료관광에 관심과 의도를 가지고 있는 영어, 일본어, 중국어 등 다양한 언어권의 관광객을 대상으로 의료관광 만족에 대한 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증한 척도개발 연구라는 점에서 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 외국인 관광객을 유치하기 위하여 처음으로 MPR이론(marketing PR theory)을 적용하여 브랜드이미지 구축을 시도하였다. 최근 각 지방자치단체들이 새로운 성장동력의 산업으로 관광상품(tourism service products)에서 찾고 있기 때문에 국내외적으로 격심한 경쟁에 직면해 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 "충남관광"만의 지역관광 브랜드이미지를 구축하기 위하여 현재 실행하고 있는 다양한 국내외 홍보현황과 과제를 분석한 후 BLC모델과 GRID모델을 확장시켜 "충남관광"의 브랜드이미지전략을 모색하였다. 그 연구결과로서 외국인들에게 "충남관광"의 한정된 브랜드 이미지를 새롭게 재포지셔닝(repositioning)함은 물론 구체적인 실행 방안들을 도출하였다. 첫째, 충남의 각 관광상품별 브랜드주기(brand life cycle: BLC)에 따라 브랜드 인지홍보, 이슈홍보, 애호도 홍보 등의 전략이 필요하다. 둘째, 관광상품별로 현재의 포지셔닝(B, C, D 영역)에서 A영역으로 재포지셔닝을 유도할 수 있는 MPR전략이 요구된다. 셋째, '충남관광'이라는 관광브랜드 이미지 구축에 일조할 수 있는 부가적인 MPR전술들도 실행되어야 한다. 이와 함께 고려되어 할 사항은 잠재 외국인 관광객들에게 '충남관광'을 체험해야 할 이유와 환경을 구축하는 것이 필요하며, 기존 관광객들에게는 신뢰와 공감을 갖도록 지속적인 관계형성을 위한 전략적 소셜미디어(SNS) 홍보가 요구된다.
