本研究主要探討遊客對墾丁地區的旅遊目的地熟悉感與旅遊意願之關係。過去研究中僅多探討遊客人口統計變數或旅遊特性等,尚不足以說明遊客特性與目的地熟悉感或旅遊意願之間的關係。本研究從遊客特性、遊客的熟悉感來探討上述變數與旅遊意願之關係。 本研究以結構化問卷為調查工具,問卷設計(包含:主觀熟悉感與客觀熟悉感)、旅遊意願以及受訪者的旅遊特性、基本資料等。本研究採取「配額抽樣」方式,並以國內旅遊目的地到訪率最高的墾丁地區之遊客為研究對象,共調查383份有效問卷。運用t檢定與單因子變異數分析來檢定變數間的差異,並以相關分析來驗證熟悉感與旅遊意願間的關係。分析結果顯示:旅遊特性與人口統計變項對熟悉感及旅遊意願之關係僅部份獲得支持;熟悉感對旅遊意願之間則為正向關係。本研究確認熟悉感確實為遊客旅遊決策的變數之ㄧ,研究發現可提供旅遊目的地業者從遊客所體認的旅遊目的地熟悉感角度中研擬出有意義的行銷建議。
