Using multistage sampling, this study sampled 487 Thai local tourists who had experienced coastal tourism in Thailand during the COVID-19 crisis. A questionnaire, descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, correlation matrix, and multiple regression analysis were used to collect and analyze the data. All customer trust, loyalty, and re-purchase intentions in coastal tourism by local tourists were at a high level. There were significantly different levels of customer trust, loyalty, and re-purchase intentions by local Thai tourists between the East-side and West-side coasts of Thailand. Moreover, the study found that there was a significant positive influence of customer trust and loyalty on re-purchase intentions in coastal tourism by local tourists in Thailand during the COVID-19 crisis. This study indicates that Thai tourism industry still must develop and improve its local customer loyalty and trust because these positively influence customer re-purchase intentions.

Tourism businesses use chat services to provide immediate customer support and to help users navigate within a website, but there are more outcomes of this interaction that should be examined. The current study aimed to discover if the online travel chat service quality and information value of the online travel chat service lead to user satisfaction with the service and visit intention to a recommended destination by Korea Tourism Organization's 1330 Live Chat. The results indicate that information value (functional and innovation) and online travel chat service quality (reliability, assurance, and security) lead to satisfaction with the live chat service and visit intention to a recommended destination. The results can benefit practitioners who want to expand and improve their customer service interaction and recommendations, and to scholars who study the relationship between customer services in tourism recommendation and sales context.

Purpose - The aim of this study is to develop an empirical model of the effects of traditional market service quality factors on customer value, relationship quality, and behavior. The specific objectives of the study are as follows: 1) to classify study objects into cultural tourism markets and non-cultural tourism markets as well as to verify the differences in service quality among the two markets and, 2) to present practical service marketing methods that fit with the characteristics of the traditional markets by amending the five quality evaluation items of SERVQUAL (a multiple-item scale for measuring service quality)to suit the characteristics of the traditional markets and establish the relationship among customer value, relationship quality, and behavior intention. Research design, data, and methodology - The study methods of empirical investigation are as follows. First, this study selected for a study object the Suwon Paldalmun Gate Market to represent the cultural tourism market, and general traditional markets to represent the non-cultural tourism market. This study also conducted personal interviews in order to increase the response rate and collected a total of 418 responses between March 18, 2014 and April 05, 2014. The total of 418 responses used for this study excluded 14 responses that had either misleading information or missing values. Results - This study verified the perceived differences of service quality based on traditional market specialization through an independent sample t-test. It appeared that the perceived service quality of the cultural tourism market was generally higher than that of the non-cultural tourism market. This study executed a path analysis in order to examine the effects of service quality factors on customer value, relationship quality, and behavior intention. This study also comprehensively analyzed the specialized market and non-specialized market separately. Although there were some differences among the results, the overall results were uniform. It appeared that convenience, reliability, and empathy, among the service quality factors, exerted meaningful effects on customer value. On the other hand, convenience, reliability, responsiveness, and empathy, excluding the tangibles, exerted meaningful effects on the relationship quality. In addition, it appeared that all service quality factors exerted meaningful effects on the customer value, relationship quality, and behavior intention. Therefore, the study verified that all of the hypotheses formulated in the study were generally adopted. Conclusions - The implication of this study may be classified into academic and practical implication as follows. With respect to the academic implication, it seems that this study is among the early studies to verify the differences between the cultural tourism market and the non-cultural tourism market. The practical implication of this study is that the perceived service quality, such as convenience, reliability, responsiveness, and tangibles, excluding empathy, was higher in the cultural tourism market than in the non-cultural tourism market. This means that customer satisfaction is enhanced by governmental aid such as hardware, software, and information and communications technology.

본 연구는 조절초점의 조절효과를 중심으로 한 관광소셜커머스의 고객가치, 만족도, 지속적 이용의도 간의 관계를 규명한 후 고객가치와 만족도간 조절초점의 조절효과를 파악하였다. 실증분석결과로서 관광소셜커머스의 고객가치는 만족도에 부분적으로 긍정적 영향작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 만족도는 지속적 이용의도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 조절초점의 조절효과 실증분석결과에 의거하면 고객가치와 만족도간의 조절초점의 조절효과는 부분적으로 긍정적 영향을 나타냈다. 이상과 같은 실증분석 결과에 의거하면 다음과 같은 시사점을 제시할 수 있겠다. 즉, 관광소셜커머스의 지속적 이용의도를 증진시키기 위해서는 관광객의 고객가치를 중시하고 또한 관광객의 향상초점을 촉진시켜야 할 것이다. 동시에 관광객의 예방초점에 대한 수준을 약화시킴으로써 관광소셜커머스의 지속적 이용의도를 도모하도록 하여야 할 것이다.

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.
