Abstract

This study investigate the effect of each type of search volume on the number of Facebook fans and the number of tourists. According to the hierarchy effect model, the effect of communication appears to be the sequentiality of cognition-attitude-behavior. Applying this theory, this study predicted that when consumers who have higher involvement and knowledge on specific cities through search behavior, they will be more active in information search through Facebook fan page subscription and will lead to direct tourism behavior. To verify the prediction, we examined the influences among search volume of Seoul shown in Google Trend, the number of fans of official facebook page named 'Seoul Korea', and the number of foreign tourists. As a result, the type of search keyword was divided into four categories: tourism attraction keyword, natural environment keyword, symbolic keyword, and accessibility keyword. The regression analysis showed that tourism attraction keyword and symbolic keyword have influence on Facebook fanpage 'Like'. In addition, facebook fanpage fan size have mediation effect between search volume and number of tourists. All in all, it would be useful to appeal to foreign tourists with a message that emphasizes tourism attraction and Korea-related contents.

본 연구는 도시에 대한 키워드 검색량을 관심의 지표로 보고 검색키워드를 유형화하여 각 유형별 검색량이 페이스북 팬 수 및 관광객 수에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 하였다. 위계적 커뮤니케이션 효과 모형에 따르면 커뮤니케이션의 효과는 인지-태도-행동의 순차성을 띄는 것으로 나타난다. 이에 따라 검색행동을 통해 특정 도시에 대한 관여 및 지식이 높아진 관광 소비자가 호감을 느끼게 되면 페이스북 팬페이지 가입을 통해 보다 적극적인 정보탐색을 할 것이며, 직접적인 관광행동으로 이어질 것이라고 예측하였다. 이를 위해 구글 트렌드에 나타난 서울시 관련 검색 키워드의 유형 별 검색량과 서울시 해외 공식 계정인 'Seoul Korea'의 팬 수, 마지막으로 서울시 외국인 관광객 수 간의 영향 관계를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 서울시의 검색 키워드 유형은 관광매력 키워드, 자연환경 키워드, 상징적 키워드, 접근적 키워드로 도출되었으며 그 중 페이스북 팬 수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 관광매력 키워드과 상징적 키워드인 것으로 나타났다. 또, 관광매력 키워드와 상징적 키워드는 서울시 페이스북 팬 수를 매개로 서울시 관광객 수에 영향을 미친다는 결과가 도출되었다. 이러한 결과에 따라, 앞으로의 서울시의 외국인 관광 소비자를 대상으로는 관광매력적인 요소와 한국적인 요소를 강조한 메시지를 소구하는 것이 유효할 것이라는 실무적 함의를 제공할 수 있다.
