Abstract

Synthetic reality—characterized by the increasingly blurring boundaries between physical and virtual worlds—is reshaping tourist experiences. This forward-looking conceptual research re-examines the tourist experience from an ontological perspective, positioning synthetic reality as an integrated super-reality transcending the physical–virtual dichotomy. Using the six-dimensional consumer experience framework as an organizing structure, this research discusses key experiential qualities of the synthetic tourist experience: surreality, symbiosis, discrete emotions, extended cognition, syntheticity, and meta-interactivity. Critical theoretical considerations of each proposed experiential quality are also discussed. This study further outlines a future research agenda for a better understanding of the synthetic tourist experience.

综合旅游体验

合成现实——其特点是物理世界和虚拟世界之间的界限日益模糊——正在重塑游客体验。这一前瞻性的概念研究从本体论的角度重新审视了旅游体验，将综合现实定位为超越物理-虚拟二分法的综合超现实。本研究以六维消费者体验框架为组织结构，探讨了综合旅游体验的关键体验品质：超现实性、共生性、离散情感、延伸认知、综合性和元交互性。每个提出的经验质量的关键理论考虑也进行了讨论。本研究进一步概述了未来的研究议程，以更好地理解综合旅游体验。

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.
