本文通过对一手数据的统计和分析,对中国国内旅游者购买旅游纪念品的态度和行为,及其对纪念品的感知进行了研究。研究结果表明,中国国内旅游者在选购旅游纪念品时最看重的是纪念品的文化内涵,是否适合送礼,是否体现景区特色,以及纪念品的质量和工艺。总体上看,受访者对其在中国最著名的两个景点的购物经验不甚满意,而受访者的性别、年龄、收入及出游团队类型对其满意度有显著影响。本文运用因子分析法发现,受访者对于旅游纪念品的五项潜在的态度因素:是否适合收藏,纪念品陈列特征,购物地点特征,纪念品价值,以及纪念品功能性。方差分析结果表明这些态度因素以及购物花费与受访者的性别、年龄、收入、教育程度、出游频率及出游团队类型有一定关系。此外,本文还运用重要度—满意度分析(IPA分析)法评估受访者对十项纪念品属性的感知。研究结果表明,受访者对其中四项的满意度较高。纪念品的做工则被认为是亟需改进的方面。

Fivefactorsofsouvenirshoppingattitudeswereidentified:collectability,displaycharacteristics,storeattributes,value,andfunctionality.Thesefactorsandshoppingexpenditurewereexaminedinrelationtotherespondents’sex,age,incomeandeducationallevel,travelfrequency,andtravelpartytype.Itwasfoundthatattitudetowardcollectabilitywassignificantlyrelatedtoage,travelpartytype,andtravelfrequency,attitudetowardstoreattributestosex,andattitudetowardfunctionalitytoeducationallevel.Sexandtravelpartytypeweresignificantlyassociatedwithspendingonsouvenirs.
