ABSTRACT

This study was designed to empirically examine the effects of storytelling on strength relationship via lovemark. Based on the review of previous literature, attributes of story telling were conceptualized in terms of six dimensions: interestingness, educational, socio-culture, emotional sentiment, descriptiveness, and originality of region of tourism spots. In addition, strength relationship was measured with eight items and relationship strength was measured with two items. Data were conveniently collected from 185 visitors to Busan on November 2010. Results showed that four dimensions of storytelling attributes(i.e., interestingness, educational, socio-culture, emotional sentiment1) made significant impacts on the lovemark. Results also showed that lovemark was likely to intensify the degree of relatedness toward the tourism spots. Implications and limitations of the study were also discussed.
