Abstract

This study aims to propose measures to consistently induce Chinese tourists who represent the largest percentage of inbound tourism from foreign countries, utilizing raw data of 2015 Korea International Visitor Survey conducted by the Korea Culture & Tourism Institute under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Differences and influence factors for overall satisfaction on travel in Korea, intention to revisit Korea, and intention to recommendation were analyzed by demographic characteristics and tourism characteristics of Chinese consumers. As a result of analysis study, it came out that there are differences between overall satisfaction on travel in Korea and intention to revisit Korea by age and job of demographic characteristics. Among the tourism characteristics, there are differences in intention to revisit Korea depending on purpose of travel, intention to revisit Korea and recommendation according to route of travel information search, and there are differences in all three categories according to type of travel. The most important factor of all three category was identified as 'Food' factor and the second most influential factors were immigration procedures, security, and tourist attractiveness. It is suggested that more active research and improvement efforts are needed in the government, industry, and academia in order to attract Chinese tourists in the future.

본 연구는 문화체육관광부의 한국문화관광연구원에서 제공하는 2015년 외래관광객 실태조사 원자료를 활용하여 입국 관광객의 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 중국 관광 소비자의 만족도 확인 및 향후 지속적 유치를 가능케 하는 방안을 제언하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 중국 소비자의 인구통계학적 특성과 관광 특성에 따라 전반적 관광만족도, 재방문의도, 추천의 도에의 차이와 영향요인을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 인구통계학적 특성 중 연령과 직업에 따라 전반적 관광 만족도와 재방문 의도에 차이가 있었으며 여행목적에 따라서는 재방문 의도에, 정보탐색경로에 따라서는 재방문 의도 및 추천 의도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 여행 형태에 따라서 만족도, 재방문 의도, 추천 의도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 한국 관광 만족, 재방문 및 추천의도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 '음식'인 것으로 나타났으며, 다음으로 출입국 절차, 치안, 관광지 매력도 등이 나타났다. 특히 출입국 절차 등은 기존 관광 만족도 관련 연구에서 다루어지지 않은 요소로 향후 중국 관광객의 지속적 유치를 위하여 정부, 산업계, 학계에서 보다 적극적인 연구 및 개선 노력이 요구됨을 시사하고 있다.
