Abstract

This study analyzed the contents of online hotel reviews of Benikea hotels. The results were as follows: First, the outstanding customer value were functional value, emotional value, price/value for money and epistemic value, conditional value are next. Social value was not found. Functional value was provoked by the functions of hotel room, room amenities, room view, room cleaness, restaurant service, and hotel staff friendliness as human services. Emotional value was the emotional response to the qualities of hotel's functions. Price/value for money was a perceived value of hotel user by the comparison of what to invest with what to receive. From the results, it can be proposed that hotel should maintain the basic qualities of core functions of hotel.

본 연구는 온라인상에 남겨진 호텔이용후기에 대해 질적내용분석을 실시하여, 호텔이용자들이 지각한 고객가치의 차원에 대해 살펴보았다. 한국관광공사의 우수 호텔 브랜드인 베니키아 호텔가운데 의도적 표집방법에 의해 행정구역을 기준으로 하여 온라인 후기가 남겨진 10개소를 선정, 연구를 진행했다. 그 결과, 베니키아 호텔이용자들이 지각한 주된 고객가치로는 기능적 가치, 정서적 가치, 가격대비 가치, 인식적 가치, 조건적 가치가 있음을 확인했고 사회적 가치인식은 전혀 발현되지 않았다. 기능적 가치는 호텔이 응당 갖추어야할 기본적인 기능에 대한 평가였고 정서적 가치는 주로 이에 맞물려 생성되었다. 가격대비 가치는 고객이 지불한 비용대비 전체적인 경험의 질에 따른 가치인식이었다. 기존의 호텔고객가치 연구와는 달리, 본 연구는 식당 음식품질의 중요성, 호텔 주변 환경의 매력성도 호텔이용자의 경험에 관여하는 주요 요소임을 확인할 수 있었고, 질적내용분석방법을 통해 실제 고객들의 호텔이용경험에 대한 그 내면을 살필 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
