This paper is about the satisfaction of Jinju Namgang Lantern Festival visitors. For this, I divide satisfaction into three parts, i.e. image, service and tour program, and analyze the relationship between satisfaction and further revisit and oral publicity.
The results are as follow;
First, out of image factors does originality have relatively the biggest impact on satisfaction, and amusement has the biggest impact on revisit intention. However, the experience has negative impact on revisit intention. Amusement in terms of image factor has relatively the biggest impact on oral publicity.
Second, the most satisfied festival services are environment and cleanness but the least satisfied festival services are festival goods, accommodations and parking facilities. Especially, the price of souvenir and the cleanness of restaurant have negative impact on visitors' satisfaction.
Third, in terms of tour program, most of visitors ask for new and enlargement of experience program for child education, and most of festival visitors are family as a group.
From the result of this analysis, my recommendations for the improvement and development of Jinju Namgang Lantern Festival are as follow;
First, in terms of image, it is needed, I think, to change or improve the current experience program.
Second, accommodation should be more carefully considered.
Third, the variety, quality and price of festival souvenir do not satisfy visitors so that improvement of current souvenir or development of new item is really needed.
Forth, it is necessary to have variety of festival food items, and food price and cleanness of restaurant should be further considered.
Fifth, despite it is international festival, the duration of festival is short and the number of participants is insufficient so that it is needed to consider nationwide publicity.
Sixth, it is need to make a plan for a festival that is naturefriendly and emphasize the history and identity of Jinju city.
Seventh, it is need to make a plan for festival events and programs, which is closely related to tourist materials of Jinju and its outskirts.
Eighth, cooperation between inhabitants and civil servants is necessary for the success of festival.
Lastly, this festival favors the regional economy and its improvement. For this, it is necessary to make discriminated image of Jinju and convey it to visitors.
