ABSTRACT

The purposes of this study were threefold. First, it aimed to identify the satisfaction factors of Chinese travelers who visit Seoul due to their familiarity with “Korean Fever”. Second, it aimed to determine the relationships among satisfaction factors, country images, word-of-mouth referrals, and intentions to return. Third, it aimed to identify the relationships of the country’s image to other variables. Five hypotheses were examined by using the structural equation based on the analysis of the moment structure. The results of the study provided many useful implications in terms of academic and practical perspectives. It was determined that “Korean Fever” influenced the country‘s image positively, as well as word-of-mouth referrals and intentions to return.
