This study aims to examine the influences of the contents of Korean cultural wave on Japanese revisit intention and recommend intention according to Japanese tourist satisfaction in Korea and based on the results of examining existing studies, the purposes of this study are shown below.
First, based on the previous studies, the items on the contents of Korean cultural wave were selected. Second, through the factors in the contents of Korean cultural wave, major factors were classified and the influences of the contents of Korean cultural wave on visit satisfaction were analyzed. Third, with regard to the contents of Korean cultural wave, the influences of satisfaction evaluated by tourists on loyalty were explored.
The suggestions based on the results of this study are shown below; First, it was shown that the contents of Korean cultural wave such as drama, music/concert, fan meeting/event, film/plays, and sports had a significant influence on visit satisfaction. In addition, the factors of the contents of Korean cultural wave influenced drama, followed by fan meeting/event, music/concert, film/plays, and sports according to visit satisfaction.
Second, visit satisfaction in the contents of Korean cultural wave had a significant influence on loyalty. Drama showed the highest interest among film/plays, music/concert, and fan meeting/event, and as customer satisfaction increased, loyalty also increased. Since positive images caused by the contents of Korean cultural wave influenced revisit intention and recommend intention by people around them, visit satisfaction increased according to the levels of interest in the contents of Korean cultural wave.
It is meaningful that the biggest difference in the comparison with other previous studies was that this study discussed a variety of cultural contents. Namely, although existing studies dealt with video media such as drama, movie, and etc, this study perceived that participating in fan meeting or film premiere to meet celebrities seen in drama and music was part of interest in Korean cultural wave. Drama was highest in other contents with regard to the importance in leading Korean cultural wave. Since drama, the contents of Korean cultural wave was the most influential factor on visit satisfaction in other Korean cultural contents, it needs constant concerns and high quality drama should be continuously produced for the first hand, recognizing drama as Korean cultural wave related businesses and cultural industry among the contents of Korean cultural wave. In addition, efforts to develop fan meeting/event, music/concert, and film/plays as high-value added contents business should be made. According to the interest levels in the contents of Korean cultural wave, tourism industry can develop and maintain Korean cultural wave by stimulating tourist's desires to visit Korea by increasing the number of tourists for Korean cultural wave. It is required to settle down as Korean cultural wave industry, not temporary Korean cultural wave.
