The Effect of the Acculturation of Chinese Immigrants on Tourist Satisfaction and Quality of Life
- Abstract
- Given the rapidly increasing number of foreign nationals migrating to Korea, this study
investigates the relationship between cultural adaptation, tourist satisfaction, and quality of life
among Chinese immigrants in Korea. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 344 Chinese
immigrants in Korea who visited Gyeongju, where Korean World Heritage sites and modern tourist
facilities coexist. A structural equation model was used to verify the hypothesis and indicated that
cultural assimilation and cultural separation had a significant effect on tourist satisfaction, whereas
cultural integration and cultural change did not have any statistically significant effect on tourist
satisfaction. Additionally, tourist satisfaction had a significant effect on quality of life (in terms of
subjective well-being and psychological well-being). The results of this study can function as a reference
for improving Chinese immigrants’ cultural adaptation, tourist satisfaction, and quality of
life.
