본 연구의 목적은 해외여행 동기에 따라 여행자들의 집단을 나누고 각 집단별로 해외여행시 구매하는 상품이나 이용 매장의 특성을 비교하는데 있다. 문헌연구를 통해 여행동기와 구매상품의 종류와 속성, 쇼핑장소의 유형과 속성에 대한 주요 문항들을 추출하였다. 20-50대 해외여행 경험자 431명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 K-평균 군집분석을 통해, 적극적 집단, 소극적 집단, 자연 쾌락추구 집단, 가족 발견추구 집단의 4개의 군집이 확인되었다. 적극적인 여행자들은 해외에서 구매하는 모든 상품종류에 대해 가장 높은 관심을 보였으며 다른 세 집단보다 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 특히 소극적인 여행자나 자연 쾌락추구 여행자들보다 패션 사치품이나 기념품 구매를 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상품 속성에서 디자인과 명성, 실용성, 가격과 품질 등의 요인들을 중요하게 고려하였다. 구매 장소 측면에서는 적극적 집단은 지역 시장, 패션매장, 선물매장 순으로 선호하였으며 소극적인 여행자들은 패션매장을 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 구매장소 속성의 중요도는 편의성, 디스플레이, 매장위치 및 판촉활동 순으로 중요시되었으며 적극적인 여행자들은 다른 세 집단 여행자들보다 매장 편의성에 대한 관심이 유의하게 높았다. 가족 발견중심 여행자와 자연 쾌락추구 여행자 집단은 쇼핑행동이 비슷하거나 일부 요인에서만 차이가 있었다. 소극적 여행자들은 나머지 세 집단과 구별되게 모든 쇼핑행동에 대한 관심이 낮았다. 여행동기에 근거한 시장세분화는 서로 다른 쇼핑행동을 예측할 수 있는 변별력이 있음을 보여주었다.

This study was to investigate if there were any significant relationships between cultural destination selection attributes and travel satisfaction according to segmented groups of cultural destination attributes. Survey questionnaire was developed based on the previous study and data were collected from on site survey, which was one of the famous cultural tourism destination in Korea such as Booyoe and Kongjoo. Six dimensions of cultural destination attributes were identified from factor analysis and three different segmented groups were determined from cluster analysis. Then, Multiple regression analysis conducted with six destination attributes as independent variables and one travel satisfaction as dependent variable, while Fisher's Z score for three segmented groups were considered as moderator's variable. The results showed that cultural destination attribute affected respondents' level of travel satisfaction and there was differences among segmented groups in terms of their affecting factors to the travel satisfaction. These findings suggested that there were different segmented groups of cultural destination selection attributes and each group pursued different cultural travel products and services.

The purpose of this study was to understand Jirisan-round Trail trekkers' socioeconomic and travel characteristics, travel motivations, and travel attitudes. On-site and email surveys were carried out from July to November of 2008 and a total of 1,026 individuals' data were analyzed. Survey results showed that the percentages of middle age users, highly educated, and professionals/managers were relatively higher among trekkers of Jirisan-round Trail. And they traveled with a small group, collected destination-related information before traveling, and showed a high level of satisfaction. Especially they had not only strong motivations for admiring, understanding, and experiencing the nature but also positive travel attitudes. Based on the results of a cluster analysis, the trekkers of Jirisan-round Trail were divided into two groups, ecotourists and nature tourists. The ecotourists group showed relatively enthusiastic participation, more nature-oriented and culturally sensitive travel attitudes, and a higher satisfaction. The results would be used for establishing effective management strategies for building environmentally and socially responsible trekking culture.

본 연구는 인터넷 사용동기에 근거한 온라인 시장을 세분화하고자 하였다. 표본은 미국 남서부지역의 대학생으로 총 219명의 Y세대 소비자로 구성되었다. 자료분석을 위해 군집분석(Cluster Analysis)과 분산분석(ANOVA)을 사용하였다. 군집분석결과, 온라인소비자는 3개의 세분시장 즉, "쾌락적 소비자", "실용적 소비자", "비능동적 소비자" 집단으로 분류되었다. 개인적 특성 중, 성별과 연령에 따라 세 집단별 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 능동적 소비자 집단 (쾌락적소비자, 실용적 소비자)이 비능동적 소비자 집단보다 인터넷 사용시간과 온라인쇼핑에 드는 비용을 더 많이 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인구매성향에 있어서, 전반적으로 충동구매성향이 낮지만, 세 집단별 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여, 쾌락적 소비자가 가장 높았고, 다음은 실용적 소비자, 비능동적 소비자 순이었다. 계획구매성향은 전반적으로 높았으며, 쾌락적 소비자와 실용적 소비자 두 집단이 비능동적 소비자보다 계획구매성향이 더 높게 나타났다. 또한, 온라인구매의도는 실용적소비자가 가장 높았으며, 다음은 쾌락적 소비자, 비능동적 소비자 순이었다. 구체적으로 상품군별 구매의도차이를 검증한결과, 실용적소비자는 "책 또는 잡지", "액세서리와 보석"에 대한 온라인 구매의도가 가장 높은 반면, 쾌락적 소비자는 "여행티켓 또는 예약", "오락 및 여가상품"에 대한 온라인 구매의도가 가장 높은 경향을 보였다. 따라서, Y세대 소비자를 위한 온라인 시장세분화에 따른 차별화된 마케팅 전략이 논의되었다.

This study confirmed the types of shopping information sources during travel abroad, and developed a profile of tourists in terms of demographics, travel, and shopping behavior. Shopping information sources and characteristics of shopping products were identified first. Thereafter, travelers were segmented by their information-seeking behavior. An online survey method was used to get data from Korean vacationers in their 20s-50s, while factor analysis, cluster analysis, ${\chi}^2$ test and ANOVA were applied to analyze data. The results were as follows. First, the shopping information sources of overseas tourists were composed of four factors including sources from travel agents/media, information from travel books and local sources, and word-of-mouth sources. Also, four factors in product types and four product attributes were identified. Second, tourists were clustered into two groups, active and passive shopping information seekers, based on shopping source behavior. Third, two groups differed in terms of demographics, showing an older age and higher income for active shopping source seekers. Active shopping information users tended to join package trips with family members, and they were more satisfied with the trip. With regard to shopping, active shopping source seekers spent more money for shopping and preferred all kinds of shopping goods with an emphasis on travel shopping. In conclusion, shopping information sources seemed to be a meaningful tool for segmenting tourists. Rich, older, family tourists would be an major target market for local retailers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the motives of tourists who visited ecotourism villages in Korea. A self-administered survey was obtained from 254 visitors in six ecotourism villages. As for the motivations of ecotourism village visitors, four factors ('relaxation', 'adventure', 'experience natural' and 'family togetherness') were extracted. Three distinct segments were identified based on the motivation : multipurpose seekers (45.3%), relaxation seekers (34.6%), family togetherness seekers (20.1%). Socio-demographic characteristics and tourism behaviors of each segmentation were also analyzed. The findings should be of interest to practitioners of ecotourism village marketing and operation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the difference between service quality satisfactions according to tourists' preference and segmentation by various motivations. Data were collected from 442 farm stay visitors by field surveys in rural areas. A factor-clustering method identified three distinct segments; want-it-all, overall low motivation, relaxation. MANOVA was used to examine the differences of service quality satisfaction for farm stay visitors' preference and segmentation by motivation. Results show that the type of guest room more significantly influenced farm stay visitors' satisfaction according to those three clusters. It should be noted that we have information on the characteristics and type of satisfaction of the consumers in order to improve the quality of farmstay's service in rural tourism.

To increase knowledge regarding the ecotourism market in Korea, this study conducted a market segmentation based on tourists' motivations and attitudes. An onsite survey of visitors to Daebu Haesol 1 gil, Gyeonggi Province, was conducted from late November 2016 to early January 2017. An exploratory factor analysis and K-means cluster analysis were employed to identify market segments by using data collected from 434 respondents. The results showed three distinct segments labelled 'Nature Seeking Responsible Tourists', 'Passive Nature Seeking Tourists' and 'Nature/Cohesion Seeking Responsible Tourists.' All three segments had different levels of 'escape', 'health' and 'cohesion' motivations but commonly they all had a relatively high level of 'nature' motivation. As they also differed from each other in terms of sociodemographic and travel related characteristics as well as satisfaction level, it was concluded that motivation and attitudes of responsibility can be used for ecotourism market segmentation. A significant implication is that this research confirmed that the indicators on tourists' attitude of responsibility toward local communities are useful in segmenting visitors to ecotourism sites, which have been rarely studied in previous ecotourism market studies.
