Abstract

‘Slow travel’ and ‘slow tourism’ are relatively new, but contested, concepts. This paper examines the meanings ascribed to them in the academic literature and websites targeted at potential tourists. It finds concurrence on aspects of savouring time at the destination and investing time to appreciate the locality, its people, history, culture and products, but detects different emphases. The academic literature stresses the benefits to the destination and global sustainability, while the websites focus on the personal benefits and ways of becoming a ‘slow tourist’. Food and drink epitomise the immersion in and absorption of the destination and the multi-dimensional tourism experience, contrasted with the superficiality of mainstream tourism. The paper discusses whether tourists practising slow tourism without using the label are slow tourists or not.
慢旅游:话语探索
“慢旅行”和“慢旅游”是相对较新的概念,但存在争议。本文考察了学术文献和针对潜在游客的网站中赋予它们的含义。它发现在目的地享受时光和花时间欣赏当地、人民、历史、文化和产品的方面是一致的,但发现了不同的重点。学术文献强调对目的地和全球可持续性的好处,而网站则关注个人利益和成为“慢游客”的方法。与主流旅游的肤浅相比,餐饮体现了对目的地的沉浸和吸收,体现了多维度的旅游体验。本文探讨了不使用慢游标签而进行慢游的游客是否属于慢游游客。
