The increasing number of SNS users who create and share information resulted in a huge volume of SNS information. This deluge of information decreases the interest of SNS users, thereby prompting them to generate stimulating and exaggerated information to draw attention to themselves. This study aims to examine the effect of SNS users' desire for attention and share their tourism experience. This study utilizes use and gratification theory and investigates the moderating effect of gender. The analysis shows that the desire for attention influences sharing of tourism experience through compliance and identification at the level of SNS commitment. Gender difference was observed between compliance and identification. This study provides theoretical and practical implications based on the results.

최근 데이터의 범람과 더불어 빅데이터 시대가 도래 하면서 SNS 라는 새로운 플랫폼을 마케팅에 활용하고자 하는 기업들이 늘어나고 있다. 기업들은 이러한 SNS 상의 데이터를 분석하고 이를 공개 API 를 통해 마케팅에서 활용할 수 있다. 하지만 SNS 업체들은 과도한 트래픽 유발 및 보안상의 이유로 공개 API 의 사용을 제한하고 있다. 따라서 제한된 사용 횟수 안에서 효과적으로 공개 API 를 사용할 수 있는 고객맞춤 최적화가 필요하다. 기존의 멀티캐스팅을 이용하면 이러한 고객맞춤 최적화가 가능하지만 SNS 의 특성을 반영한 것이 아니기 때문에 SNS 마케팅에서 활용하는데에는 한계가 있을 수 밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 멀티캐스팅을 이용한 고객맞춤 최적화의 한계를 보완하고 SNS 의 특성을 보다 잘 활용할 수 있는 새로운 SNS 마케팅을 위한 고객맞춤 최적화를 제시한다.
