Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the motives of tourists who visited ecotourism villages in Korea. A self-administered survey was obtained from 254 visitors in six ecotourism villages. As for the motivations of ecotourism village visitors, four factors ('relaxation', 'adventure', 'experience natural' and 'family togetherness') were extracted. Three distinct segments were identified based on the motivation : multipurpose seekers (45.3%), relaxation seekers (34.6%), family togetherness seekers (20.1%). Socio-demographic characteristics and tourism behaviors of each segmentation were also analyzed. The findings should be of interest to practitioners of ecotourism village marketing and operation.

본 연구는 생태체험마을 방문객을 방문 동기에 따라 시장세분화 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 전국 6개의 생태체험마을에 방문한 20세 이상의 방문객 254명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 요인분석결과 생태체험마을 방문 동기는 휴식, 모험, 자연체험, 가족여행으로 나타났으며, 군집분석 결과 다목적추구형(45.3%), 휴식추구형(34.6%), 가족체험추구형(20.1%)으로 나타났다. 인구통계학적 특성별로는 연령, 월소득, 직업, 학력, 결혼여부에서 군집별로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 관광행동 특성별로는 거주지와 정보획득경로, 지출비용, 동반자에서 군집별로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 가족체험추구형의 경우 40대의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 생태체험마을 방문객의 세분시장별 특성을 바탕으로한 운영과 마케팅 전략으로 생태체험마을 방문객의 만족을 효율적으로 높일 수 있을 것이다.
