지역 간 경쟁우위를 도모하기 위하여 축제체험을 전략 수단으로 하여 축제의 브랜드가치를 높여야 한다. 이로서 축제체험과 브랜드자산에 대한 연구가 시기적으로 필요하여 본 연구에서는 이들 간의 영향관계를 연구하고 연구 후 결과를 토대로 전략적 시사점을 제공하였다. 축제체험과 브랜드자산 간의 영향에 대한 연구내용 및 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 축제체험과 브랜드자산에 대한 이론적 연구에서 개념적 접근을 수행하여 이론적 근간 마련과 구성요소를 도출하였다. 둘째, 축제체험중 인지, 감각, 행동, 관계적 체험은 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지, 지각된 품질에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 축제체험이 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지, 지각된 품질의 브랜드자산을 형성하는데 중요한 영향요소임을 규명하였다. 셋째, 브랜드자산 구성요인 간의 영향관계에서 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지, 지각된 품질은 브랜드충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지, 지각된 품질과 브랜드충성도 간의 영향관계는 현재 참가수요에 이어 향후 잠재수요의 참가에 대한 결과인데 이들 간에는 영향을 미치므로 브랜드 충성도를 높이려면 브랜드인지도, 브랜드이미지, 지각된 품질 제고에 대한 다양한 전략이 강구되어야 한다. 본 연구는 체험과 브랜드자산을 축제에 적용함으로써 두 변수간의 영향관계만을 실증연구 함에 한계를 지녔다. 이는 축제를 대상으로 한 초기연구였으므로 앞으로 보다 깊이 있고 다양한 차원의 연구로서 다소 미흡하였으므로, 앞으로는 본 연구를 토대로 보다 발전적인 후속연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다
