본 연구에서는 관광 SNS를 이용하여 관광활동을 하는 관광객의 사회적 지원과 자기표현이 관광경험 그리고 관광 SNS 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석함과 동시에 관광객의 사회적 지원 및 자기표현과 관광경험간의 영향관계에서 관광 SNS에 대한 관광객의 이용목적 수준의 조절효과를 파악하였다. 연구결과로서 사회적 지원과 자기표현은 관광경험에 긍정적인 영향을 주며, 관광경험은 관광 SNS 이용의도에 각각 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 관광 SNS 이용목적은 자기표현과 관광경험간의 관계에서 조절효과가 있는 반면, 사회적 지원과 관광경험간의 관계에서는 조절효과가 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 시사점으로서 관광객의 SNS 이용의도를 증진시키기 위해서는 이 분야에 대한 보다 적극적인 연구 및 마케팅이 요구됨을 시사하고 있다.

With the rapid spread of social media, video-sharing social media like YouTube has emerged as a consumption and distribution channel for entertainment goods such as music videos and movie trailers. In tourism research, there has been a lot of research of how the visual media such as movies and soap operas induced tourism. However, no studies have attempted to examine the role of social media as a music consumption channel and its impact on tourism. Expanding a body of media-induced tourism, we analysed the impact of video-sharing social media on music-induced tourism with a case of Korean pop music and inbound tourism to Korea. Developing a Web-crawler, we collected YouTube users' comments data on 166 Korean pop music video clips which were released from 2009 to 2012 with over 1 million view counts. Controlling many of the determinants of tourism and analysing country-by-country impact of YouTube comments with the panel data, we found that engagement of Korean pop music video clips on YouTube is a significant predictor for the flow of inbound tourists to Korea.

Smart tourism research and development have mainly focused on the benefits of smart tourism technologies to certain stakeholders with transactional relationships in destinations. However, smart technologies in destinations could also cause several negative outcomes, leading to social, ethical, and moral issues. Such issues arise from the power imbalance between different stakeholders of smart tourism development. To mitigate the adverse effects of smart technologies, destinations need to enunciate the essential moral and ethical principles when developing smart tourism. Therefore, adopting descriptive and normative approaches to stakeholder theory, this paper proposes a framework to showcase several methods to address the issues.
