“…China is one of the main economic partners of South Korea and one of its largest tourism markets (Jin and Wang 2016). However, the situation over THAAD caused suppressed tensions to resurface and even resulted in a boycott of South Korea as a tourist destination by many Chinese tourists (Juan et al 2017; Mody 2017). The 2017 China Outbound Tourism Travel Report shows that the number of Chinese tourists dropped from 8.04 million in 2016 to 4.17 million (a decrease of 48.3%) in 2017 (China Tourism Academy and Ctrip 2018).…”

This study expands the empirical evidence amassed to date concerning tourists’ decision-making processes in a situation of conflict between a country of origin’s market and country of destination. It uses the constructs of animosity, national attachment, consumer ethnocentrism, country image, and perceptions of the state of bilateral relations in order to examine three intent to visit scenarios. To obtain the robust results, the study uses two methods of analysis from distinctly different repertoires of techniques, such as traditional statistical and data-mining approaches, and applies them to each scenario. The results consistently indicate a high level of influence of general animosity and ethnocentric tendencies in addition to country image and bilateral relation variables in tourists’ decision making. The situational context of the study is the conflict between China, the country of origin, and South Korea, the country of destination, over the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system.

“…In Korea-focal tourism studies, it has been common for research data to provide insights on one of only four nationalities (Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and Singaporean), which has greatly limited representativeness. Juan et al [64] stated that Korea should put more effort into attracting tourists from other countries and regions to diversify its inbound tourism market by developing and promoting various tourism attractions. Thus, a further importance of this study is its contribution to the scant research considering African markets as potential inbound sources.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to investigate country image and attitudes on Tanzanian tourists' intention to visit Korea. It also aimed to examine the moderating effects of destination and product familiarities in the relationship between country image and attitudes on future visit intention. We utilized data collected from 350 college students in Tanzania and found that participants' cognitive image of Korea significantly influenced their affective image, in turn affecting attitudes toward country, products, and cuisine. Attitudes toward country, products, and cuisine, in turn, had positive effects on visit intention. We also showed the moderating effects of destination and product familiarities among the interrelationships.

“…We have seen in Table 1 that the frequency of political collisions between China and Japan is much higher than the China-Korea case. When a rare and acute incident (THAAD deployment) between China and Korea broke out, the long-standing peaceful relationship was severely damaged, and the China-Korea flow plunged sharply (Juan et al, 2017).…”

To capture the role of politics in tourism, we propose a novel measure to quantify political relations based on text analysis of published diplomatic statements. We explain how political relations affect outbound tourist flows from China to Japan and Korea. Estimated on monthly data (1997m1-2018m12), our model shows how China-Japan disputes affect tourist flows to Korea and how China-Korea clashes influence the number of Chinese tourists going to Japan. The political effects are estimated to peak after three months, but half of the effects vanish in six months. We also observe asymmetries in the political effects-the tourists respond more to negative political shocks than to positive ones, and more to territorial disputes than to war history disputes.
