This study examined the moderating effect of the celebrity involvement between the festival motivations and the destination choice attributes. A total of 309 questionnaires were collected form visitors of '2009 Mt. Bohyun Star Festival' held in Youngchun city on May 2009. Results of a factor analysis identified five dimensions of participants motivations: 'knowledge', 'escape', 'novelty', 'socialization' and 'family togetherness' and four dimensions of destination choice attributes: 'social infrastructure', 'nightlife activities', 'residents' attitudes', and 'nature'. Celebrity involvement was factored into 'self-expression centrality', and 'attraction'. Results revealed that 'self-expression and centrality' significantly moderates 'novelty' and 'socialization' into 'nightlife activities' and 'residents' attitudes'. Results also showed that 'attraction', one of the sub-factors of celebrity involvement, significantly moderated 'escape' and 'socialization' into 'social infrastructure'. The conclusion and limitations were discussed. |
