본 연구는 옴니채널에서의 관광정보탐색과 만족도간의 관계와 관광경험과 위험지각간의 조절 영향관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 첫째, 관광정보탐색동기의 편리성과 신뢰성은 모두 만족도에 유의한 영향관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 관광정보탐색동기인 편리성과 신뢰성이 만족도와의 관계에서 관광경험의 조절효과는 유의적이 않은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 관광정보탐색동기인 편리성과 신뢰성이 만족도와의 관계에서 위험지각의 조절효과는 재무위험의 경우 유의적인 것으로 나타났고, 심리위험은 유의적이지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 재무적인 위험의 지각은 만족을 저해한다는 점에서 재무위험을 줄이기 위해 이용하기전 보다 많은 탐색을 통해 정보를 얻으려는 경향이 강하므로, 좀 더 실용적이고 정확한 형태로 정보가 제공되어야 할 것이다.

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.

In order to enhance the competitiveness of tourism destinations, it is important to manage tourist products considering the characteristics of tourist destinations and the characteristics of tourists. In this study, we divided Seoul's tourism products into four parts (shopping, food, culture, and natural landscape) to explore if there are some direct connections between tourism product involvement, self-congruity, and functional congruity. The other research question is if the degree of tourism product involvement reaches a certain intensity, will the place attachment be generated and the destination satisfaction be fulfilled. The survey was the focus on the international visitors in smart city, Seoul by using the random sampling and convenience sampling and collected 250 data. Finally, we found that destination personality significantly affects both self-congruity and functional congruity. If self-congruity and functional congruity are formed, tourism product involvement will be stimulated which will finally satisfy tourists and arouse their place attachment. The implications of these findings contribute to destination marketers to develop more effective destination management.

Prior research on Extended Reality (XR) has been a starting point for the development of the Metaverse. It is also a concern for researchers in the tourism field since it can enhance the tourist experience. Metaverse Tourism provides a virtual experience of the tourism destination for the users. It is potentially developed and predicted to be the future of tourism, enhancing the tourist experience through communication between humans and avatars and providing a new option for tourists to enjoy leisure activities. Recently, discussion on Metaverse tourism is still emerging, with some open talks from researchers in the intersections between information technology and tourism. This study extends prior studies by proposing six Metaverse tourism elements and categorizing them into core and supporting elements. Then, we analyze the consequences of those elements on the Tourism Experience Journey to enhance each stage with different characteristics. This study can contribute to continuing recent dialogues among scholars on how Metaverse can be applied in the tourism sector by proposing six elements that should be considered in developing and creating Metaverse services.

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.
