초록

최근 문화체육관광부에서는 범국민적 여행분위기 조성과 여름철 집중된 국내 관광수요 분산 등을 위해 2014년부터 '여행주간'을 정하여 운영하고 있다. 이 사업의 일환으로 국립공원공단에서도 2018년부터 '여행주간' 동안 전국 국립공원에서 자연을 주제로 한 볼거리 즐길거리를 제공하는 국민 참여형 저지대 탐방 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국가 정책으로 시행되고 있는 '여행주간' 동안 국립공원에서 진행되었던 '국립공원 봄 여행주간 프로그램' 참가자를 대상으로 프로그램 만족도와 재참여의향에 대한 인식 특성을 파악하기 위해 진행되었다. 연구방법은 전국의 총 18개 국립공원에서 진행된 '2019년 국립공원 봄 주간 프로그램'에 참여한 탐방객 1,281명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 참가자의 '국립공원 봄 주간 프로그램' 사전 인지 여부에 따른 만족도 및 재참여의향 차이를 분석한 결과, 국립공원 방문 전 프로그램을 인지한 참가자의 만족도와 재참여의향은 사전에 인지하지 못했던 참가자 보다 만족도와 재참여의향 모두 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 국립공원 유형별로 살펴보면, '해상 해안형 국립공원'과 '사적형 국립공원'이 '도시형 국립공원' 보다 만족도와 재참여의향 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 프로그램 유형별로 살펴보면, 참가자의 만족도는 '전시회', '홍보부스', '캠페인' 보다 '문화공연'과 '탐방체험' 형태가 통계적으로 유의하게 평균값이 높았고, 재참여의향은 '전시회', '홍보부스' 형태 보다 '문화공연'과 '탐방체험'에서 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 본 연구는 향후 국립공원 여름 성수기 외에도 봄과 가을 탐방객 수 증가에 대응한 탐방서비스 개선을 위한 탐방정책 수립을 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있다.

The Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has held "Travel Week" since 2014 to encourage the people to take a vacation and disperse the seasonal tourism demand that is concentrated in summer in Korea. As part of the program, the Korea National Park Service has also operated the participatory lowland exploration program that offers nature-themed attractions and enjoyment in national parks across the country during the "Travel Week" since 2018. The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction with the program and intention to participate again of participants in the "National Park Spring Week Program" which is held in national parks during the "Travel Week." We conducted a self-report survey of 1,281 participants in the "2019 National Park Spring Week Program" held in 18 national parks across the country. The analysis of responses on the difference in the participants' satisfaction and intention to participate again according to the awareness in advance of the "2019 National Park Spring Week Program" showed that the average satisfaction and intentional to participate again of those who were aware of the program before visiting national parks were statistically significantly higher than those who were not. As for the type of national parks, those who participated in "maritime and coastal national parks" and "historical national parks" showed the statistically significantly higher satisfaction and intention to participate again than those who participated in "urban national parks." As for the type of the programs, those who participated in "cultural performance" and "exploration experience" showed the statistically significantly higher satisfaction than those who participated in "exhibition," "PR booth," and "campaign." Those who participated in "cultural performance" and "exploration experience" showed the statistically significantly higher intention to participate again than those who participated in "exhibition" and "PR booth." This study is expected to provide basic data for establishing a policy to improve exploration services in response to the increasing number of visitors to national parks in spring and fall as well as the peak season of summer.
