Abstract

This study investigated the link between esports spectators and their tourism intention using value-attitude-behaviour hierachy(VAB) and co-branding. We've conducted a survey on Chinese who had a direct spectator experience on esports. Using a total of 311 samples, this study found that the link between the attitude of esports shows a positive effect on the tourism intention of the venue. Also, esports attributes have a positive relationship with the attitude of the venue.

본 연구는 e스포츠 경기관람이 개최지 지역관광의도에 주는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 가치-태도-행동 체계(VAB)와 공동브랜드 이론을 적용하여 e스포츠 경기관람객의 의사결정구조를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 e스포츠 경기를 직접 관람한 경험이 있는 중국인들을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고 총 311부 유효 표본을 수집하여 구조방정식 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 e스포츠 경기에 대한 태도는 개최지에 대한 태도에는 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 관광행동의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, e스포츠 경기의 선택속성은 개최지에 대한 태도를 증진시키며 관광행동의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다.
