This study examined the effects of island visitors’ motivation on post-trip attitude. Data were collected from 328 people at three island destinations in Incheon including Muuido, Deokjeokdo, Jangbongdo. The statistical analysis of the data was conducted using techniques of frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, T-tset, ANOVA and regression analysis. Results of a factor analysis suggested 5 different factors of the tourism motivation(escape from daily life, novelty, recreational attribute, relationship, educational attribute). Results largely showed that the motivation of the island visitors tended to make a signifiant positive effect on the visitors' post-trip attitude(tourism satisfaction, revisit intention, recommendation intention). In addition, the demographic characteristics of island visitors showed a partial difference in the motivation and post-trip attitude. This study provides an insight into the relationships among tourist’s motives and post-trip attitude for future research.
