Abstract

Tourism in rural contexts is often approached from a perspective that situates the tourist as a customer but not as an active part of the community. This generates the feeling that the loss of social cohesion, one of the great problems affecting the rural world, can only be tackled by those who reside permanently in the villages. Our research proposes a broader view of the issue through the concept of homecoming tourism, a phenomenon whereby emigrants return to visit their place of origin, becoming tourists while also being part of the community. Through an ethnographic case study in Extremadura (Spain) we analyse the implications of homecoming tourism for the rural crisis and its capacity to generate community social capital.

返乡旅游与社区社会资本

在农村环境中，旅游往往是从旅游者作为顾客而不是作为社区的积极组成部分的角度来看待的。这产生了一种感觉，即社会凝聚力的丧失是影响农村世界的重大问题之一，只能由那些长期居住在农村的人来解决。我们的研究通过返乡旅游的概念提出了一个更广泛的观点来看待这个问题，返乡旅游是一种现象，移民返回他们的原籍地，成为游客，同时也是社区的一部分。通过在埃斯特雷马杜拉（西班牙）的民族志案例研究，我们分析了返乡旅游对农村危机的影响及其产生社区社会资本的能力。

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.
