Tourisation Theory and the Pandiscipline of Tourism
本文主张旅游研究应作为一门泛学科,整合其他学科的概念和理论来解释旅游现象,并提出旅游化理论来描述旅游在地方中日益嵌入的六种效应。
It is argued in this letter that tourism studies, as an autonomous field of academic study, can better position itself in the COVID-19 era as a “pandiscipline” which synthesizes concepts and theories from other disciplines to better describe and explain tourism-related phenomena. Universal core tourism structures and processes, in turn, are captured in “tourisation theory,” which describes the increasing embeddedness of tourism in places as manifested in six tentative propositions and associated impulse, amplification, ubiquity, ascendancy, concentration, and endorsement effects.
