The purpose of this study was to measure tourists' preference for alternative restaurants with different combinations of attribute levels: grown area logo, origin description, traditional food, fusion food, national food, and price. A total of 210 questionnaires were completed. A conjoint experimental method was used to develop hypothetical restaurants, and an ordinal probit model was used to measure the effects of the attribute levels on tourists' preference. The ordinal probit model analysis results for the data indicated an excellent model fit. The effects of the attribute levels on tourists' preferences were statistically significant. As expected, estimates of the marginal willingness to pay were statistically significant Moreover, the tourists were more willing to pay for grown area logo as compared to the other attribute levels. The tourists also considered the grown area logo as a very important attribute. Withe regard to developing and testing conjoint models in the design of choice experiments involving multifactor alternatives, this study may approach a deeper understanding of the conjoint experiment. Greater understanding of the conjoint experiment can improve the managerial diagnoses of the problems as well as the opportunities for different marketing strategies including local branding programs and menu development and marketing communications.

Due to the lack of information, medical tourists are regarded to be at high risk. Prior medical tourism research has found that various types of perceived risks have a significant impact on medical tourists' purchase behavior. Even though medical tourism is predicted to increase, there is a lack of behavioral research to explain how perceived risks affect medical tourists' purchase behavior. In the context of Korean medical tourism, this study attempts to evaluate the effects of multi-level (macro, organizational, and personal) factors on medical tourists' perceived risks and purchase intentions. A conceptual model and hypotheses were built and empirically validated to investigate links between multi-level characteristics, perceived risks, and purchasing intentions. The data for this study was collected from Chinese tourists using a questionnaire. The impact of cognitive country image, affective country image, and medical service quality on fundamental risk is confirmed by statistical testing. Surprisingly, expectancy discrepancy risk is influenced only by cognitive country image and information search capabilities. Both fundamental and expectation discrepancy risks lower medical tourists' purchase intentions. The findings of this study show that a multi-level strategy is required to investigate the links between perceived risks and medical tourism purchasing intentions based on macro, organizational, and personal factors.

본 연구는 생태관광지의 유형별 탐방객 특성을 파악하기위해 북한산둘레길, 우포늪, 지리산둘레길, 울진금강소나무 숲길을 대상으로 탐방객의 인구통계적 특성 및 여행동기, 훼손에 대한 인식 등을 분석하였다. 각 대상지를 방문한 탐방객들을 대상으로 1:1 면접조사를 통해 현장 설문조사를 실시하였다. 북한산둘레길의 경우 인근 주민들이 건강을 위해 찾는 빈도가 높고 생태관광객의 비율이 낮은 경향을 보였으며, 환경훼손에 대한 인식도 높지 않게 나타났다. 우포늪은 동료간의 친목을 다지기 위해 단체로 움직이는 탐방객 수가 많았고, 습지생태계의 관찰·체험, 탐조활동 등 생태관광 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 산악형에 비하여 물리적인 훼손요인이 많지 않아 훼손에 대한 탐방객들의 인식은 높지 않았다. 지리산둘레길은 생태관광객과 함께 일반 대중관광객과 자연관광객의 비율도 높게 나타났으며, 평지형 관광지보다 환경훼손에 대한 인식이 높았다. 울진금강소나무숲길의 경우 탐방을 제한함으로써 생태관광에 대한 인식이 높고 자연환경 보전의식이 높은 관광객들이 주로 방문하기 때문에 거의 모든 지표에서 다른 생태관광지에 비해 높은 값을 보였다. 관광지의 자연환경훼손이 우려되는 경우에 입장료 징수 또는 탐방예약제를 통해 관광객수를 조절하는 방안에 대해서는 대체적으로 긍정적으로 받아들이는 것으로 조사되었다.
