本文从消费视角研究土著旅游,通过民族志和Q方法发现土著居民受旅游影响后的四种休闲消费模式,并揭示其消费动机源于互惠和反思现代消费文化,对理解旅游示范效应有新贡献。
This paper reorients research on the impacts of indigenous tourism from a focus on production to consumption, exploring a new phenomenon of the modern leisure consumption boom among indigenous hosts. Through a mixed-methods approach combining ethnography and Q method, the study uncovers shared consumption patterns and distinct consumption logics between indigenous people and tourists. Two key findings are highlighted. First, the leisure consumption of indigenous people, impacted by tourism, can be categorized into four types, with social interaction central. Second, indigenous hosts' leisure consumption is driven by a consumption desire rooted in reciprocity and a reflective engagement with modern consumer culture. This study explores subjectivity to offer a new understanding of the tourism demonstration effect.
