Abstract

ABSTRACTCuriosity stands as a significant driving force in comprehending tourist behaviour. Nonetheless, within the realm of anime pilgrims, the objects of interest, the underlying mechanisms and the resulting behaviours stemming from their curiosity deviate notably from those exhibited by typical tourists. Through the utilization of in-depth case studies of anime pilgrims, this research unveils an innovative impetus for tourism known as ‘fantasy curiosity’ with four distinct attributes, differentiating it from prevailing conceptualizations of general curiosity. Moreover, by utilizing a Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, we pinpoint distinct characteristics of anime-related behaviours across different phases of anime tours. These findings serve to propel the progression of research within the realms of tourism motivations, while concurrently broadening the horizons of curiosity theory.KEYWORDS: Anime pilgrimagecuriosityinterpersonal relationshipfantasydata mining Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant numbers 72074126 and 72101124]; One Hundred Talents Program of Nankai University [grant numbers 63233170 and 63233169].

奇幻好奇:理解动漫朝圣的新理论视角

摘要好奇心是理解游客行为的重要驱动力。然而，在动漫朝圣者的领域内，他们的兴趣对象、潜在机制和由此产生的好奇心行为与典型游客的表现明显不同。通过对动漫朝圣者的深入案例研究，本研究揭示了一种被称为“幻想好奇心”的旅游创新动力，它具有四个不同的属性，将其与流行的一般好奇心概念区分开来。此外，通过利用潜在狄利克雷分配模型，我们确定了动漫旅游不同阶段的动漫相关行为的鲜明特征。这些发现有助于推动旅游动机领域的研究进展，同时拓宽了好奇心理论的视野。关键词:动漫朝圣好奇心人际关系幻想数据挖掘披露声明作者未发现潜在利益冲突基金资助:国家自然科学基金项目[批准号:72074126和72101124];南开大学百人计划项目[批准号:63233170、63233169]。

期刊介绍： Journal metrics are valuable for readers and authors in selecting a publication venue. However, it's crucial to understand that relying on any single metric provides only a partial perspective on a journal's quality and impact. Recognizing the limitations of each metric is essential, and they should never be considered in isolation. Instead, metrics should complement qualitative reviews, serving as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. This approach ensures a more comprehensive evaluation of a journal's overall quality and significance, as exemplified in Current Issues in Tourism.
