In this study, we introduce a multi-modal mixed reality (MR) application for advertising the main touristic landmarks on Jeju Island, and evaluate its effectiveness based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with a focus on the user's involvement in Korean culture (K-Culture). Specifically, we deployed several stimuli to enable users to retrieve information, visualize a variety of heritage content such as text, images, videos, virtual artifacts, and immerse in a VR environment to experience the heritage locations. The results of the online survey with 436 participants showed that for consumers with low K-Culture involvement, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease-of-Use did not affect their Intention to Visit the island. Still, it had a significant impact on their Intention to Use the application. On the other hand, for the group with high K-Culture involvement, Perceived Usefulness had no effect on the Intention to Use and Intention to Visit. However, Perceived Ease-of-Use had a significant impact on their Intention to Use the application and Intention to Visit Jeju Island. Therefore, when user involvement in K-Culture is high, convenience of use has played a significant role in sensory media usage and the intention to visit, regardless of the usefulness of the mixed reality content. In contrast, users with low K-Culture involvement primarily focused on the functional aspects of the application. These findings open the path for follow-up studies on K-Culture involvement and immersive media tourism marketing, which will benefit digital tourism marketing and Korea's tourism industry.

Tourism has been widely regarded as a mentally and physically healthy pursuit. Emotional experience can increase the restoration effect of tourism. Thus, recent studies in tourism have paid more attention to the benefits of emotional experiences. This study provides and tests a model that examines the relationship emotional experience as mediating variable between perceived service quality and two outcomes (behavioral intention, subjective well-being). The results of a study with rural healing tourists provide support for the proposed model. Specifically, the results indicate that emotional experience partially mediate the relationship between perceived service quality and satisfaction. The results of this study suggest that emotional experience should be considered as important in rural healing tourism services. The study provides empirical validation that customers do, indeed, identify with service providers, and this, in-turn, provides positive consequences for both the service provider (i.e., behavioral intention) and the customer (i.e., subjective well-being).

The purpose of this study is to propose, firstly, the definition of marine health tourism and empirically to analyse the effect of benefit sought and brand equity on visit intention of destination as marine health tourism. This study utilizes the PLS-SEM method in order to measure the overall model fitness level and statistical significance of all paths in proposed research model. As a result of the analysis, benefit sought factor like nature has a highest positive effect on brand equity(image and perceived quality) and also, on visit intention via brand equity. Specially, this study measures the non-linear of all the paths and shows the statistical significance that the more high health factor as benefit sought is, the preference for quality brands is more steeply. In addition, the measurement of the moderating effect of gender variables shows that female is the most sensitive than male on the path from health benefit sought to brand quality among all the paths. However, the definition of marine health tourism in this study is proposed according to the characteristics of a particular area. In this vein, the definition is needed to generalize more through follow-up study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Brand Personality to Marine Tourism Destination Images and Intention to Recommend. For this purpose, factor analysis was applied to 42 of J.Aaker's Brand Personality Scale and 5 personality dimensions were extracted. This analysis was also applied for cognitive and affective images and two of cognitive images and three of affective images were extracted. Multiple regression was done to estimate the relative effects of Brand Personality to both cognitive and affective images and intention to recommend. The results indicated brand personality influenced on both cognitive and affective images and intention to recommend directly and also found affective images was influenced by cognitive images. The results also suggested useful insight for future study. The Brand Personality Scale which developed for the product by Aaker might not be suitable for measuring the marine tourism destination brand personality and necessary to develop the new scale suitable for marine tourism destination personality, and be needed to study together with other moderating variance such as satisfaction and congruency with image to verifying the exact effect between different variables.

Purpose - This study examined the influence relationships between the impacts of tourism development, local attachment, and resident involvement and local residents' support and pro-environmental behavior intentions in Jeju Island. Design/methodology/approach - A questionnaire was distributed to the Jeju Island residents and 373 samples were used for the analysis. Findings - The results showed that the perceived positive impact of tourism development has a positive effect on local residents' support, while the negative impact has a negative effect. Local attachment has no significant effect on local residents' support, while local involvement positively affects local residents' support. The positive impact of tourism development has a negative effect on pro-environmental behavior intention, while the perceived negative impact has a positive effect. Finally, when analyzing the relationship between local attachment, local involvement, and local support for eco-friendly behavior intention, it was found that they all have a positive effect. Research implications or Originality - Theoretical and managerial implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

현대관광은 관광지를 돌아보는 단순한 관광에서 체험하는 관광, 생각하는 관광으로 빠르게 진화하고 있다. 때문에 이러한 체험관광(experiential tourism) 시대에 문화관광해설사의 관광해설은 관광자의 체험관광에 매우 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적 궁궐인 경복궁 문화관광 해설 프로그램을 이용한 관광객을 대상으로 문화관광 해설내용과 해설능력의 2가지 측면에서 관광자 만족과 재방문 의도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 첫째, 해설내용 측면에서 해설가치성과 해설흥미성 2가지 요인 모두 관광자 만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 둘째, 해설능력 측면은 해설진행성과 해설태도성은 관광자 만족에 긍정적인 영향관계를 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 관객소통성은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 관광자 만족은 재방문 의도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 해설내용과 해설능력 모두 문화관광해설의 중요한 요소임이 증명되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 문화관광해설사 재교육 프로그램의 체계적 운영관리 및 처우와 지위에 대한 정부차원의 지원 등이 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

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.
