摘要 本研究旨在探究國家品牌建立的過程,其中國家品牌的探討包含品牌的建立者、行銷與宣傳的管道,觀光產業為研究重點,並以台灣為研究個案,探討台灣如何以觀光建立其國家品牌。
本研究採用內容分析法與質性訪談分析,以台灣觀光局與外國旅客作為研究對象,並與台灣在觀光上有密切關連國家與地區 (包含中國、日本、香港、南韓)的觀光發展策略相比較。研究探討國家如何以觀光建立其國家品牌,透過其觀光政策、觀光資源的整合,以及觀光行銷與宣傳策略。此研究結果顯示,台灣在其觀光資源並不匱乏,但相較之下,在觀光行銷策略上較為不足。在效益評估方面,自2008年到2014年,台灣在觀光人數與收益以及國際觀光競爭力排名上並無明顯的增長。自與外國旅客的訪談中,此研究也歸納出台灣以觀光建立國家品牌上的數項特色與長短處。最後,根據此研究之研究結果,提出對國家觀光品牌建立者與其觀光政策實施、觀光資源整合、行銷宣傳策略等方面,提出具體建議。
