Based on the Chong-do Bull-fighting festival that has the possibility to be an international tourism source, this study aims to derive the image factors of festival along with the discussion about the generalization of measure standards. Also it tries to analyze the influence of various images of festival on the satisfaction of visitors. At the same time, it intends to analyze the influence of tourist satisfaction on the behavior intention of visitors to make positive oral circulation and on their intention to revisit. For an empirical analysis, we have collected questionnaires from 516 visitors at the bull-fighting festival in Chong-do. As a result of analysis, there appeared 6 image factors such as experience, wonderfulness, game, locality, and purchase. The measurement model about the image of bull-fight festival showed relatively positive goodness-of-fit. (X² = 958.529, df = 309, RMR = 0.047, GFI = 0.87, AGFI = 0.84, CFI = 0.88). Therefore, seven among 8 hypotheses suggested in this study have shown positive results. Especially the game factor took a very high value for the satisfaction of tourists. However, it was revealed that the factor of wonderfulness among various factors of Chong-do Bull-fighting festival-image did not have much influence on the satisfaction of tourists (t=0.28).
