Surveys were conducted with users of mobile tourism information service via smart phone as subjects from 15 September to 30 October, 2010 for verification regarding empirical application possibility of measurement categories deduced through study of preexisting research, expert interviews, a survey of expert opinion. Dimensionality verification and reliability verification were obtained during the index development phase, and in the subsequent index assessment phase, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis was conducted out for re-verification of dimensionality, and construct validity and predictive validity. As a result, composition of mobile tourism information service quality utilizing smart phone was classified into a total of six dimensions comprising 28 categories including functionality, information quality, ease of use and usefulness, responsiveness and empathy, ubiquitous accessibility and reliability; consequentially; supporting more accurate design, management and measurement of mobile tourism services.
