Abstract
Taking Baisha as a typical island tourism destination, the study explored how island tourism development affected islanders' lives and livelihood rhythms. The study also examined how islanders coped with the rhythmic changes. Findings showed the interrelations of rhythms on the island (tourism rhythm, islanders' life rhythms, traditional livelihood rhythms, and tourism livelihood rhythms). Findings confirm that tourism is embedded in the “old” rhythms of the island community. Further, islanders pursue the resonance of rhythms through rhythmic negotiations influenced by natural rhythm, top-down power discipline, and livelihood capacity. Study findings point to the influence of tourism seasonality on islanders' rhythmic sensations. Thus, the study suggests that island managers can enhance islanders' tourism participation by managing island rhythms.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
