Abstract

The Internet website has become an effective marketing vehicle for travel agencies. The objective of this study is to examine theoretical relationships between travel agency's website quality, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention. Usable data was obtained from the 373 respondents using travel agency's website within one year. Hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that travel agency's website quality has an effect on customer satisfaction as well as repurchase intention. The impact of information quality on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention is the most important factor, followed by service quality and design quality among the factors of the quality of a travel agency's website.

본 연구는 여행사 웹사이트 품질, 고객만족, 그리고 재구매 의도 간 영향관계를 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 최근 일 년 이내 여행사의 웹사이트를 통해 여행상품을 구입한 경험이 있는 소비자들을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구조방정식 모형의 결과는 여행사 웹사이트의 디자인 품질, 서비스품질, 그리고 정보 품질은 고객만족 및 재구매 의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 가지는 것으로 증명되었다. 한편 여행사 웹사이트의 품질의 구성요소 중 정보 품질이 고객만족과 재구매 의도에 가장 중요한 요소로 밝혀졌으며, 다음으로 서비스 품질, 디자인 품질 순으로 나타났다.
