Abstract

Recently, the travel and lodging industries have been suffering from the spread of COVID-19. But Airbnb recovered its profits with a differentiated strategy. This study identified the characteristics of Airbnb and examined their effects on customer's revisit intention in the Airbnb context. Perceived value, trust about Airbnb, and social norms were considered as the key factors of revisit intention. In addition, the effects of relative attractiveness, brand identification, and enjoyment on perceived value and trust about Airbnb were examined. The proposed research model was tested based on 285 consumers who had Airbnb experience more than twice. The analysis results showed that relative attractiveness, brand identification, and enjoyment had a significant influence on perceived value and trust. Perceived value had a significant influence on revisit intention. However, trust about Airbnb and social norms did not significantly affect revisit intention. Moreover, ths analysis results found no significant moderating effect of share of wallet. Based on the results of this study, Airbnb would establish effective marketing and operation strategies by understanding the formation mechanism of consumer's revisit intention toward Airbnb.

코로나 펜데믹 확산으로 여행 산업이 침체를 겪고 있으나, Airbnb의 경우 차별화된 전략으로 시장 변화에 대응하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Airbnb의 특성이 고객 재방문에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 지각된 가치, Airbnb에 대한 신뢰, 주관적 규범을 재방문 의도 형성의 핵심 요인으로 고려하였다. 또한 상대적 매력, 브랜드 동일화, 즐거움이 지각된 가치와 Airbnb에 대한 신뢰에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 지갑 점유율의 조절 효과도 살펴보았다. 제안한 연구 모형은 Airbnb를 2번 이상 사용한 경험이 있는 고객들을 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구 분석 결과, 상대적 매력, 브랜드 동일화, 즐거움이 지각된 가치와 Airbnb에 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 지각된 가치는 재방문 의도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 Airbnb에 대한 신뢰와 주관적 규범은 재방문 의도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 지갑 점유율의 조절 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 Airbnb는 고객들의 재방문 의도 형성 메커니즘을 이해하여, 마케팅 및 운영 전략을 수립할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
