Tourism and human-elephant conflict in China: An embodied approach to coexistence
Human-wildlife conflict has become a challenge in global biodiversity conservation. Existing studies mainly view tourism as an economic instrument for mitigating conflict, with limited attention on the embodied aspects of living with dangerous wildlife for the residents. Drawing on embodiment as the theoretical framework and multispecies ethnography as a methodological approach, this study explores how tourism reshapes resident-elephant conflicts…
Sensory therapeutic assemblages in tourism: Qi and the health of snowbirds in China
Identifying the Drivers of Food Waste in University Canteens in China: A Qualitative Approach
The global food crisis has made food waste reduction an important area for research and practice. In China, food is frequently wasted in university canteens. Identifying the factors involved is critical for reducing waste and preserving resources and the environment. In contrast to previous studies of canteen food waste, which have mainly used quantitative research methods, this study adopted a qualitative approach to reveal the self-reported cau…
Couchsurfing in China: Guanxi networks and trust building
Trust building is a core issue in couchsurfing; however, existing research has mainly focused on trust formation in Western culture and ignored other cultural contexts. This article examines couchsurfing practices in China and explores the influence of Chinese guanxi on trust formation. The results show that the general process of trust building between Chinese couchsurfers is similar to that of Western surfers, but there are also some important …
Beyond Novelty–familiarity Dualism: The Food Consumption Spectrum of Chinese Outbound Tourists
China has become the largest source market for international tourism, and food is essential for outbound travel. Only a few studies have focused on the food consumption of Chinese outbound tourists. Existing studies have sought to understand tourists’ food consumption based on the novelty–familiarity dual structure. This article adopts qualitative research methods to analyze the food consumption of Chinese outbound tourists in Spain. It finds tha…
National tourism standards and local practices: Based on the experience of Tibet, China
Tourism standards are critical to standardizing the development of the tourism industry. Tourist attractions, being the core of tourism products, have a variety of characteristics and individualities. It is however, difficult to standardize different types of tourist attractions according to the same tourism standards. Such standardization is also incompatible with tourist attractions’ construction according to the national tourism standards from…
Tourism and poverty alleviation in Tibet, China: The role of government in enhancing local linkages
This study analyses the formation mechanism, poverty alleviation effects of local linkages, and examines the different agencies involved in shaping linkages in the Tibet Autonomous Region to understand local linkages in pro-poor tourism. A local linkage analysis framework composed of forward and backward linkages is developed from a value chain perspective. Research findings revealed the key role of governmental intervention in promoting diverse …
Gendered mobilities of cycle-touring women in Hainan, China
Mobility plays a crucial role in constructing gender. This study provides empirical evidence of this by focusing on both the embodied and situational agencies of women to explore gendered mobilities in cycling tourism. Interviews and observations were used to collect data in Hainan, China. This study found that the bodily practice of cycling allows women to exercise agency by permitting them to express and improve their skills, which further enab…
Health and local food consumption in cross-cultural tourism mobility: An Assemblage Approach
A healthy diet is vital to sustaining tourist mobility. In cross-cultural mobility, tourists must face strange local eating environments in tourism place and the complex health problems that these environments may cause. Existing research on tourist food consumption and health mainly addresses health from a biomedical perspective by emphasizing food nutrition and hygiene. We adopt an assemblage approach to understanding health as a relational out…
Situating animal ethics in Thai elephant tourism
Following ethical contextualism, this article situates different animal ethical principles, from anthropocentrism to non‐anthropocentrism and relational caring ethics, in Thai social contexts in order to examine whether these principles can lead to a sustainable ethical practice in elephant conservation. The results show that, as non‐anthropocentrism, animal rights ethics are impractical in Thailand because of temporal, spatial, economic and soci…
Desert as therapeutic space: Cultural interpretation of embodied experience in sand therapy in Xinjiang, China
Tourist experience of nature in contemporary China: A cultural divergence approach
The study of Chinese nature tourism is a relatively independent research realm which adopts a cultural perspective to study the tourist experience. Chinese tourists are regarded as being accustomed to experiencing nature through associating it with high culture such as landscape poetry and paintings, calligraphy, and so on, and the impacts of traditional popular culture are seldom addressed. Yet, for the majority of Chinese, popular culture has s…
Effective environmental interpretation at Chinese natural attractions: The need for an aesthetic approach
In western society since the 1970s, interpretation has played an important role in improving tourists’ appreciation of the natural environment, developing their environmental attitudes and facilitating the adoption of environmentally sensitive behaviour. In China, interpretation of natural attractions is a more recent phenomenon and a largely cognitive approach has been taken, focusing on the presentation of scientific information. This paper que…
A Cultural Perspective on Wildlife Tourism in China
Wildlife tourism is based on interactions between humans and wildlife. Although it is well understood that differences exist in the relationship in different cultures, existing management models are often based on a scientific approach rather than a cultural approach or an approach that integrates these perspectives. This study concentrates on the social and cultural factors affecting wildlife tourism management through a case study of Monkey Isl…
