본 연구는 소나무라는 식물의 부산물인 송이버섯을 주제로 축제화한 제8회 봉화송이축제의 방문객만족에 관한 연구이다. 식물을 활용한 축제연구의 선행연구와는 달리 방문객의 만족을 식물을 활용한 관광 형태 중의 하나인 생태관광 관점에서 연구 한 것에서 본 연구는 차별성을 갖는다. 본 연구를 통해 식물 활용축제에 대한 방문객들의 축제 관광프로그램 만족도, 환경보전에 대한 인식 그리고 식물활용 축제의 지역에 대한 경제적 편익에 대해 알아보았다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 봉화송이축제의 관광프로그램 중 방문자들은 송이채취 체험에 대해 송이를 활용한 음식 만들기 등 의 프로그램들 보다 더욱 만족한 것으로 밝혀졌다( 평균5.35/7점 척도). 한편 체험 참가자들은 채취하는 송이의 수가 증가되기를 바라는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 송이축제 방문으로 방문자들은 환경보전의 중요성을 느껴 봉화 송이축제가 교육적 축제임이 밝혀졌다. 다음으로, 축제 방문객으로 인한 지역의 경제적 기여 분석에서 방문자들은 송이와 농산물 구매 그리고 식음료 구매로 인한 비용이 숙박 등에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 축제 기획자들은 가족 중심의 관광프로그램 다양화와 지역의 독특하고 상품성 높은 농산물 생산 등에 대한 축제 기획이 요구된다. 추후 연구에서는 방문객들의 방문동기, 방문객들의 방문 기대와 인지된 성과, 서비스 질 등에 관한 만족도 연구 가 행해져야 할 것이다.
