최근 소비자들의 소득수준이 높아지고 여가시간이 많아지면서 관광 상품에 대한 관심이 많아지고 있으며, 관광산업의 규모가 점차 증가하면서 관광지 및 지역 간 경쟁이 치열해지고 있다. 관광 상품에 대한 차별적 포지셔닝 구축을 위해 스토리텔링 광고가 주목을 받는 현 시점에서 본 연구는 관광지 스토리텔링 광고에 있어 관광활동의 관여도의 역할을 알아보고, 스토리텔링 광고에 대한 태도가 관광지 몰입, 방문의도 및 SNS 구전의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한 스토리텔링 광고유형별 광고태도와 관광지 방문의도 간의 관계에 있어서 심적 시뮬레이션의 조절적 역할을 실증적으로 검증해보았다. 본 연구에서는 총 255부의 설문응답이 분석에 활용되었으며, 연구의 모델 타당성 및 가설 검증을 위해 이단계 접근법을 사용하였다. 연구 결과 타당성과 신뢰성을 확보한 것으로 나타났다. 가설 검증 결과 스토리텔링 광고태도가 관광지 방문의도에 미치는 영향을 제외한 모든 가설이 지지되었으며, 특히 스토리텔링 이성광고유형의 경우 광고태도와 방문의도 간의 관계에서 심적 시뮬레이션이 조절적 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 관광지의 스토리텔링 광고 제작이 지역경쟁력을 높이고 방문 및 구전의도를 증대시킬 수 있는 효과적인 전략이 될 수 있음을 제시하였다.
