Abstract
Research on ecotourism interpretation has been conducted by many researchers, but no specific research has been conducted on tourism activities and interpretation service constraints for deaf muteness. This study explores the influence of the utilization of sign language for animals and plants on the deaf muteness’ ecotourism interpretation satisfaction. Data was collected from 145 deaf mute people who participated in the ecotourism interpretation programs using sign language in five national parks, including Jirisan, Odaesan, Juwangsan, Dadohaehaesang, and Gyeongju. As a result of regression analysis, it was found that sign language satisfaction, interpretation content satisfaction, and delivery technology and service satisfaction have effects on interpretation satisfaction. In particular, sign language satisfaction has the greatest effect. This suggests that one of the most important services for deaf ecotourists is the provision of sign language. In order to consider ecotourism as universal welfare, it is necessary to consider the introduction of specific services for the disabled, such as the use of sign language for deaf mute people.
