The purpose of this study was to study how a tourist uses the tourism information acquired using the Smart-phone to perceive the distance to the tourist attraction and use the findings to manage and provide various kinds of tourism information effectively for the Smart-phone to reduce the gap between the distance perceived by the tourist and the actual distance to the destination. The following are the findings of this study as a result of a substantial survey: First, the polarity of tourism information for Smart-phone has a significant impact on the perception of physical distance. Second, interactivity has a significant negative impact on the perception of physical distance and cultural distance. Third, usability has a significant impact on the overall perception of distance, including physical distance, cultural distance, and psychological distance. Finally, the reliability of tourism information for Smart-phone does not have a significant impact on the perception of distance. Overall, the individual characteristics of tourism information for Smart-phone had a positive impact on the tourist's perception to the tourist attraction. More meaningful findings would be derived if follow-up studies discuss the intervening variables and moderator variables of their relations.
