Previous studies found that different patterns in parks and recreation both within nation and among cultural groups. However, very few studies attempted to model customer service concepts among different cultural groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences and relationships of service quality, satisfaction and behavior intention among three main cultural groups in Taiwan including Hoklo, Hakka and Mainlander group. In particular, the role of two language groups, i.e., Hoklo and Hakka language groups, two most recognized regional language groups were also explored. The data was collected from Taroko National Park from 2007 to 2008, and Huisun National Forest Recreation Area from 2009 to 2011. Using purposive sampling procedures, a total of 2179 valid questionnaires were obtained from on-site visitor surveys. The study findings were described as below: (1) There were significant differences in service quality, satisfaction and behavior intention among different cultural and language groups. Visitors who were Hakka group, Non-Hoklo language group and Hakka language group tended to have lower service quality perceptions and behavior intentions. (2) All the six structural models testing revealed good model fits. Specifically, service quality significantly and positively influenced on satisfaction in the overall sample, Mainlander group model, as well as Hoklo language and Hakka language group model. Service quality significantly and positively influenced satisfaction, and satisfaction significantly and positively influenced behavior intention in the overall sample and Hoklo group model, as well as Hoklo language and Hakka language group model. (3) The overall R-square statistics of all models were between 0.38 to 0.59, indicated good practical significance in explaining visitor behavior intentions from service quality and satisfaction. The management implications for each cultural and language group were also provided. λ1 Facility ε1 0.448 λ2 Management ε2 0.211 λ3 Service ε3 0.416 λ4 Information ε4 0.388 0.743 0.888 η1 0.764 Service quality 0.782 γ1=0.446 γ2=0.371 η2 0.792 Satisfaction Behavior intention ε5 0.373 ζ1=0.173 γ3=0.358 η3 λ5 Satisfaction 0.880 λ6 Recommend ε6 0.226 0.771 λ7 Revisit ε7 0.406 GFI= 0.988 CFI= 0.988 RFI= 0.976 AGFI= 0.973 RMSE= 0.016 RMSEA= 0.055 ζ2=0.161 Figure 1.
