Abstract

Baby boomers who were born right after Korea War make up about 15% of population of Korea and lead an aging society rapidly. They're retiring since from 2012 and going to make up nearly 80% of total of old retirees. Baby Boomers with much higher income and education levels are going to enjoy their retirement as traveling. Therefore, this study invests the relationship between lifestyle and travel product selection of baby boomer consumer. Two big results are as follows. One is that baby boomers progress consumption activity(because they have their own purchasing power) and have health and leisure lifestyle and family lifestyle. The other is when they select travel product, they eventually consider three elements- travel company, transportation, and travel colleague.

한국 전쟁 이후 태어난 베이비부머 세대는 우리나라 전체 인구의 약 15% 가량을 차지하면서 매우 빠른 속도의 고령화를 주도하는 세대이다. 2012년부터 본격적으로 은퇴기에 접어드는 베이비부머 세대들은 2020년에는 전체 은퇴자 중 약 80%가 넘을 것으로 예상된다. 그들은 소득수준과 교육수준이 높고 경제적으로 여유가 있기 때문에 여가 활동 중의 하나인 여행을 즐기는 것이 은퇴기의 핵심이 될 것으로 보여 진다. 따라서 본 연구는 베이비부머소비자의 라이프스타일과 여행상품의 속성유형을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 베이비부머 세대는 현 세대의 노인들에 비해 구매력을 바탕으로 적극적인 소비 활동을 하고 있었으며, 건강 및 여가지향과 가족지향적인 라이프스타일을 가지고 있었다. 향후 그들이 여행 상품을 선택할 때에는 여행사, 교통수단, 여행거리, 여행동반자를 가장 많이 고려하는 것으로 나타났다.
