Busan is a representative of ocean cities in South Korea, which attracts many Chinese tourists. As a number of Chinese tourists increase, Chinese tourists’ evaluations of sightseeing resources in Busan appear extremely important. However, there are few researches on Chinese tourists’ evaluations of sightseeing in Busan. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Chinese tourists’ evaluations of Busan tourism. Chinese tourists who travel to Busan are chosen as research objects and several aspects including marine, fisheries and general tourism are investigated to evaluate the tourists’ overall satisfaction of the tourism in Busan. IPA analysis, factor analysis multiple regression analysis are used for the research. The results are as follows. Chinese tourists’ evaluations of the importance and performance level of variables on Busan tourism were significantly different (total 19 of 25 variables) and the performance was lower than importance. This means the outputs of the various Busan tourism elements do not live up to their expectations. The findings show that Chinese visitors have high satisfaction on infrastructures of fisheries tourism (e.g. cleanness of aquatic product tourism facilities and sanitary state on fishery products), but low satisfaction in terms of the contents (e.g. unique cooking method experience of seafood and traditional seafood cooking consumption). The factors of fisheries tourism (e.g. product services of fisheries tourism and the attractiveness of seafood in Busan) never affect their satisfaction and intention to revisit and recommend the city.

본 연구는 동북아 크루즈관광시장의 성장에 따라 최근 급증하고 있는 국내 기항 크루즈상품 이용자의 관광만족도 분석을 통하여 국내 크루즈항만도시의 관광경쟁력 제고방안을 마련하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 2012년 크루즈관광객 실태조사 결과를 토대로 방한 크루즈관광객을 중국어권, 일어권, 영어권으로 구분하여 관광만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 각 언어권별로 관광지 일정, 출입국 절차, 교통, 쇼핑 등에서 관광만족도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 향후 크루즈 항만도시별 마케팅 전략 수립에도 이러한 특성의 반영이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 크루즈 관광객 유치증진 및 크루즈항만 활성화를 위한 관광마케팅 전략 수립과 더불어 크루즈관광산업 육성정책 마련에 유용한 정보를 제공한다는 측면에서 큰 의의가 있다.

Drawing on Herzberg's two-factor theory, this article suggests that visitors to rural tourism base their overall evaluation with an experience on their consideration of two types of aspects referred to as either 'motivators' and 'hygienes' by using the critical incident technique. 233 critical incidents described by 121 participants are categorized into three exclusive factors which are named as experiential factor, cognitive factor, and affective factor. The application of Herzberg's two-factor theory to rural tourism suggests 'satisfiers' to come from the experience-activity itself, experiential factor. While more peripheral elements constitute 'dissatisfiers', cognitive factor. The paper provides the advancement and broad application of Herzberg's theory to further understand rural tourists satisfaction.
