Abstract

This study was conducted to derive a positioning map using multidimensional scaling method to understand how the brand image of national foods including Korean food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Thai food, and Vietnamese food is perceived by domestic and foreign tourists. In order to achieve the research purpose, this study collected 250 data through online and offline surveys for potential food tourists who are interested in visiting overseas. Except the unfaithful responses or missing values, 202 data were analyzed. As a result, first, 8 factors which are considered to be important by food tourists were extracted. Second, the result of similarity analysis using ALSCAL and PROXSCAL did not show that the foods of the five countries were very similar, but all countries seemed to be more likely to compete with each other. Third, attribute selection also indicates that mean value of food taste (3.88), national image (3.82), and sufficient food quantity (3.65) had high level of importance, respectively. These results may provide practical implications for development of branding strategy in food tourism.

본 연구에서는 음식관광 브랜드 이미지가 국내외 관광객들에게 어떻게 인식되고 있는지를 파악하고, 음식관광 브랜드 이미지를 유형화시키는 도구인 다차원척도법을 이용하여 결과를 분석하였다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 국내외에 거주하는 해외 음식관광에 관심이 있는 잠재적 음식관광객을 대상으로 온 오프라인 설문조사를 통해 수거된 250개의 설문지에서 202개의 설문 응답이 분석에 사용되었다. 연구결과 첫째, 응답자들이 중요하다고 평가하는 8항목을 선택속성으로 추출하고, 국가별 이미지 평균을 분석하여 포지셔닝맵으로 시각화하였다. 둘째, 유사성 분석에서는 다섯 국가의 음식이 매우 유사하다고 응답하진 않았지만, 모든 국가가 서로 경쟁관계에 놓일 가능성이 높아 보였다. 둘째, 선택속성 항목들의 중요도 분석을 하였을 때, 음식의 맛(3.88), 국가이미지의 반영(3.82), 충분한 음식의 양(3.65)이 높은 수치가 나타났다. 평균값은 3.62로, 평균값보다 큰 것은 음식의 맛, 충분한 음식의 양, 국가이미지의 반영 총 3개로 나타났기에 잠재적 음식관광객은 음식을 선택할 시에 음식의 맛, 양, 국가이미지 반영의 유무를 우선으로 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 음식관광을 활성화 브랜딩 전략에 시사점을 제공할 수 있으리라 사료된다.
