This study was carried out to identify the key drivers behind the rapid growth of the cosmetic medical tourism industry in recent years and determine the future growth engines. Unlike previous studies that have focused on cosmetic medical tourism in the United States, Japan, and China, this paper examines the related trends in ASEAN countries, where the interest in cosmetic surgery has recently surged among young people, as part of the efforts to promote the expansion of the industry in this particular region. The results of the empirical study showed that those from the ASEAN region traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery found the medical professional's expertise in cosmetic surgery technology, medical care system, and administrative convenience in relation to communication and accessibility appealing, and this is what led to an intention to visit. As for another process that formed the intention to visit, it was the sociocultural attitudes towards appearance arising from the attractiveness of celebrities, and this had an impact on the intention to visit abroad for cosmetic surgery. Especially it was newly discovered, based on an empirical analysis, that sociocultural attitudes towards the appearance and attractiveness of celebrities could be a key influencing factor when it comes to the intention to visit another country for cosmetic surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between characteristics of social media sites (SNS) and the intention of Pakistani tourists to visit South Korea while determining the role of usefulness, interestingness, and involvement of tourists. Research design, data and methodology: A research model was developed through the previous research, and the questioner-based survey was conducted on Pakistani tourists visiting Korea. The survey data was collected by following multiple hypotheses: the relationship between SNS tourism information and perception of SNS, the relationship between SNS perception and intention to visit, and adjustment of involvement in the relation between tourism information characteristics, and SNS perception. We used SPSS and AMOS24.0 statistical tools to analyze the hypothesis testing data. Results: Based on the data analysis, the study found that the characteristics of SNS have a positive effect on intention to visit via users' perception like usefulness and interestingness. The involvement has a moderating effect between SNS characteristics and users' perception. In the group with high involvement, the degree of influence of the quality factor of SNS on user perception was greater than in the group with low involvement. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that traveler's involvement has a moderating effect on the relationship between SNS characteristics and visit intention for Pakistani travelers visiting Korea. It shows that practitioners or researchers should establish and operate SNS strategies in consideration of user involvement.

본 연구는 치과 의료기관에서 인구사회학적특성에 따른 치과이용목적과 6개영역간의 서비스품질을 비교하고, 의료서비스 질과 환자만족도, 재이용의도간의 상관관계를 분석하여, 재이용의도에 미치는 요인을 파악하여, 광주지역 중 남구과 북구에 소재 한 치과의원 5곳을 선정하여 해당 치과의원에서 1회 이상 진료를 받은 경험이 있는 내원환자를 대상으로 2009년 6월 1일부터 7월 30일까지 설문조사를 실시하여 분석하였다. 1. 대상자의 특성 중 서비스품질, 만족도, 재이용의도와의 관련이 있는 변수는 연령, 수입, 학력수준 등이었다. 2. 의료서비스에 대한 품질, 서비스 만족도, 재이용의도 간의 관련성을 살펴본 결과 6개 영역의 서비스 질을 비롯한 서비스 품질은 만족도, 재이용의도와 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 3. 재이용의도에 영향을 미치는 관련요인을 파악하기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 서비스질만을 포함했을 경우는 재이용의도에 서비스 질 영역 중 접근성이 유의하게 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 서비스품질 영역과 만족도를 독립변수로 하여 재이용의도와의 관련성을 알아 본 결과 서비스품질의 접근성과 만족도가 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 이외에도 연령이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 치과이용 환자가 평가하는 서비스 질은 이들의 재이용의도와 관련이 있으며, 특히 접근성에 대한 서비스 품질이 유의하게 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고, 이에 각 치과 의원의 접근성은 구강건강에 대한 전화상담, 의료정보제공, 병원 내외부의 의료전달정도가 환자만족을 높이고 재이용의도에 영향을 미친다고 의미한다. 또한 일차의료기관인 치과의원의 경쟁이 치열해지고, 선택 가능한 의료기관이 증가함에 따라 고객의 특성에 기초한 고객과 관련된 여러 자료 등을 DB화하여 관리가 필요하고, 고객의 요구사항 및 고객을 제대로 이해하고 다양한 채널을 통한 접점 의사소통을 함으로써 고객과의 관계를 설정하고 유지해 나감으로써 단골고객이 아닌 평생고객으로의 유도가 가능할 것이다.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has led to a decline in restaurant visits, which in turn has changed the decision-making process of consumers. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing visit intention during the COVID-19 endemic by employing the expanded theory of planned behavior. A total of 291 samples were collected through an online survey for the analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation path analysis were performed on the collected data using the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) statistical program. The findings of the study revealed the positive effects of attitude and perceived behavioral control and the negative effects of subjective norms on desire. Second, desire played a mediating role between antecedent variables (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control) and the visit intention. These findings are meaningful in that they expand the theory of planned behavior during the COVID-19 endemic based on factors that affect visit intention.

최근 COVID-19 팬데믹으로 비대면 사회가 되면서 가상현실(VR) 기반으로 문화유산을 체험하려는 시도가 이어지고 있다. 그러나 VR 콘텐츠 체험이 실제 문화유산이 있는 관광지에 대한 방문으로까지 이어지는지, VR 콘텐츠 체험 만족으로 인해 관광지 방문 의도가 감소하지는 않는지에 대한 의문이 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 VR 기반 문화유산 체험이 유적지 방문 의도에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 실증적으로 파악하는 것이다. 또한, VR 기반 문화유산 체험이 Web 기반 문화유산 체험에 비하여 가지는 특징을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 DeLone and McLean이 제안한 정보시스템 성공모델을 기반으로, 관광 콘텐츠 체험이 유적지 방문의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 더 나아가 콘텐츠 체험형태(VR vs. Web)에 따른 구조적 관계에 차이가 있는지 살펴보았다. 연구결과, VR 기반 콘텐츠 체험 시에 시스템 품질의 편리성과 정보 품질의 실재감, 유용성은 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로, 정보품질의 실재감과 만족도는 지속사용의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지속사용의도는 방문의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면에 만족도는 방문의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, Web을 통해 콘텐츠를 체험한 집단이 VR을 통해 콘텐츠를 체험한 집단보다 정보 품질의 유용성이 지속사용의도에 미치는 영향력의 크기가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 관광지에 대한 방문의도를 높이기 위한 VR 기반 관광 콘텐츠를 구성하는 방안에 대해 논의하였다.

Purpose With the rapid evolution of the OTT platform, this study addresses a notable gap in the existing literature by examining the impact of celebrity involvement in OTT contents on the intention to visit the country. We explore the intricate mechanisms through which the audience's sense of telepresence, facilitated by OTT technology, and parasocial relationships with celebirities contribute to the formation of the national image and, consequently, influence the intention to visit the country. Design/methodology/approach This study applied Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using survey data from 222 participants. Findings Our findings reveal a positive effect of celebrity involvement on both telepresence and parasocial relationship. Additionally, we observe a positive relationship between telepresence and parasocial relationship. The study further highlights the impact of these factors on the cognitive and affective national images. The cognitive and affective national images, in turn, positively influence the overall national image, ultimately impacting the intention to visit the country. This research contributes to the understanding of the interplay between psychological factors related to viewer-celebrity relationships and the technical characteristics of OTT contents in shaping national images and travel intentions.
