Steering change
This paper advances a critical rethinking of rural tourism governance by foregrounding its affective, relational, and negotiated dimensions. Drawing on seven years of embedded autoethnographic fieldwork in Azheke Village, a UNESCO-listed Hani settlement in Yunnan, China, we examine the role of universities as deeply implicated actors in the co-production of alternative governance regimes. It situates governance not as a technocratic exercise in i…

Adaptive Testing for Alphas in Conditional Factor Models with High Dimensional Assets
This article focuses on testing for the presence of alpha in time-varying factor pricing models, specifically when the number of securities N is larger than the time dimension of the return series T. We introduce a maximum-type test that performs well in scenarios where the alternative hypothesis is sparse. We establish the limit null distribution of the proposed maximum-type test statistic and demonstrate its asymptotic independence from the sum…

Covid-19, Tourism, and China
The COVID-19 pandemic has been going on for over 3 years. There is no clear sign that different variants of coronavirus will disappear any time soon although majority of the countries in the world, including China, have removed their stringent pandemic control policies. For the time being, China has abolished its zero-COVID policy but has seen soaring cases of daily infections. The world is far from safe to travel and it is likely the virus will …
Profiling and evaluating Chinese consumers regarding post-Covid-19 travel
The tourism industry, despite its vulnerability to external shock, is acknowledged for its ‘adaptiveness’ and ‘resilience’ to external pressures. Questions arise as to whether the industry can have a rapid recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic and if so, what factors may contribute to this rebound. Based on a nation-wide survey of 3388 samples, this study seeks an understanding of Chinese consumer travel psychology and behaviour post-Covid-19. The …
Coping with precarity in the tourism performing arts industry
This article examines the precarious work experiences and coping tactics of entertainers in China’s tourism performing arts (TPAs), who are also tourism labour migrants (TLMs). Focusing on a particular ethnic group, Wa entertainers (WEs), this article aims to highlight how TLMs sustain their careers and fight for decent work. Qualitive methods were applied to investigate entertainers in a neglected sector of the tourism industry. The findings sho…
How do Chinese tourists negotiate the constraints of engaging in post-Covid-19 domestic travel
Post-COVID-19 domestic travel, a valuable component of tourism recovery, has been initiated. However, verified and detailed knowledge regarding epidemic-induced travel behaviour changes from an emic perspective is lacking. Focusing on actual behaviour based on a field investigation of Chinese domestic travellers, this study provides detailed knowledge of the travel constraint-negotiation interaction process between travellers and the epidemic. Th…

A longitudinal study of residents’ attitudes toward tourism development
Deepening the understanding of residents’ attitudes and related influencing factors is integral to tourism destinations’ long-term sustainable development. Given the transitional nature of residents’ attitudes, longitudinal research on the topic – despite having been recommended – remains lacking. This study applied a longitudinal design over a 4-year period to assess the effects of residents’ satisfaction with tourism development and quality of …

Chinese 'snowbirds' in tropical Sanya
Family plays a large part in retirement migration, exerting great influence on migrants’ decision-making and post-migration experience. However, extant studies direct limited attention to the issue of the family, and usually perceive it as stable and positive during retirement migration. In contrast, this paper explores the dynamism and complexity of the family, which is continuously negotiated in time-spaces and functions as both enabling and co…
Dancing in public spaces
In contemporary China, public spaces are often sites for group leisure activities. In the last ten years, the most notable group leisure activity is Guangchangwu (广场舞) which translates as dancing in the public squares. It has become a unique leisure practice mainly for older women’s participation in urban China. Guangchangwu (GGW) is a new form of daily leisure activity which has been overlooked by leisure scholars. By means of studying this uniq…

Tourism gentrification in Shenzhen, China
Tourism gentrification is a consequence of both 'gentrification generalized' and the rapid development of the global tourism industry. The geographical spread of tourism gentrification from Western countries to emerging countries like China inevitably challenges existing explanations. Using the case of the Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) community in China, this study examines the causes and socio-spatial consequences of tourism gentrificati…

Tourism geography in China, 1978-2008
Tourism geography did not exist in China before 1978. Since its birth shortly after the 1978 reforms, it has been growing rapidly. After a brief period of growth with strong interests in theoretical issues, the field over the last two decades has been dominated by applied work. This is attributable to the rise of tourism as an important source of national and local income which demands better planning of tourism resources, and to the neoliberaliz…
Patron-Client Ties in Tourism
Studies of rural tourism in China often refer to the concept of guanxi in discussing traditional cultural and special social phenomena. However, guanxi mainly refers to a unilateral, 'request–offer' relationship, while the reality in rural destinations of China is far more complicated and where social relations may involve bilateral, trilateral or even more intricate interactions. In this case study of Xidi, a World Cultural Heritage village in A…

Urban spectacles as a pretext
Since the mid-1990s, major cities in China have generated a boom in the production of urban spectacles. But existing literature cannot fully explain why these cities are willing and able to participate in these events. This paper documents this boom and argues that the enthusiasm for producing urban spectacles is driven by a strong developmental imperative and sustained by the soft budget constraints of the spectacle organizers – urban government…

Event Impacts Assessment
Event impacts assessment (EIA) is important in the field of event management and event studies. Current EIA methods lack comprehensive and integrated assessment on event impacts. This article introduces a new method to evaluate the integrated impact of mega-events. We assume that an inherent relationship between mega-event and media exists and the media content is able to reflect social reality. Based on this assumption, an EIA model based on med…

Nature-based Tourism Resources Privatization in China
Local governments in China have begun to lease scenic areas to private enterprises to fund their development as tourist attractions. The terms of the leases are for 25 to 30 years, and sometimes more. The privatization of nature-based tourism resources presents both opportunities and risks for governments and the sites being leased. Based on data collected from three case studies, and using a dynamic system modelling methodology, we identify the …
