Abstract

This study investigated the problems of the tourism industry mostly focusing on the Chinese market and proposed strategic orientations by analyzing the inbound tourists from various countries. The study analyzed the relationships among satisfactions and expenditures of shopping, food, transportation, accommodation and intention to revisit for the inbound tourists in Korea and explored the differences in the relationships across the countries. The study results were analyzed via structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS with the data for inbound tourists in 2015. The results are summarized as follows. First, for Japanese tourists, the expenditures of accommodation, shopping and transportation were significantly related to their satisfaction, respectively, while for Chinese tourists, all the expenditures were significantly related to satisfaction in all areas. Expenditures of shopping and food for Southeast Asian tourists, of accommodation and shopping for North American tourists, and of shopping and transportation for European tourists had significant effects on satisfactions. Second, for Japanese tourists, shopping, food, and transportation satisfactions were significantly related to intention to revisit, while for North American and European tourists, all satisfactions but transportation satisfaction were significantly related to intention to revisit. The study results reveal the need to develop new products for various reasons of visit Korea for various countries and that our government will have to determine and solve the problems and meet the demands from the inbound tourists from various countries in terms of shopping and transportation.

본 연구는 중국 중심의 관광산업의 문제점을 지적하고 다양한 나라의 외래관광객을 분석하여 그에 맞는 전략방향을 제안하고자 한다. 한국을 방문한 외래관광객을 대상으로 숙박, 쇼핑, 음식, 교통에 대한 지출과 만족도 및 재방문 의도 간의 영향 관계를 분석하고, 일본, 중국, 동남아, 미주, 및 유럽관광객들 간에 어떤 차이가 있는지를 탐색하였다. 연구는 2015년 외래관광객 실태조사 결과 데이터를 활용하여 AMOS를 이용한 구조방정식을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 일본은 숙박비, 쇼핑비, 교통비가 개별만족도에 영향을 주었으며, 중국은 모든 비용이, 동남아는 쇼핑비와 식음료비가, 미주는 숙박비와 쇼핑비가, 그리고 유럽은 쇼핑비와 교통비가 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 일본은 쇼핑만족도, 음식만족도, 교통만족도가, 중국과 동남아는 모든 만족도가 재방문의도에 정의 영향을 미쳤다. 미주와 유럽은 교통만족도를 제외한 모든 만족도가 재방문의도에 정의 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 결과는 각국의 외래관광객들이 중요하게 생각하는 여행 목적과 요소들을 발굴해서 이에 맞는 여행상품 및 서비스를 설계하고 개발해야 하며, 국가차원에서 쇼핑분야와 교통분야에서 각국의 외래관광객의 요구사항을 반영하여 개선할 점들을 찾고, 실행해야 할 것을 제시하고 있다.
