Abstract
This study develops a conceptual framework of rural tourism placemaking based on gentrified space in China's desakota villages. It indicates three types of rural tourism placemaking and uncover the underlying power relationships between tourists, local villagers and owners of gentrified premises that shape the varied placemaking. In particular, the present study pinpoints the importance of co-creation in rural tourism placemaking with three stages: physical reconstructing, local participation in tourism, and relational integration between multiple parties. This study indicates that the rural tourism placemaking through co-creation involves a balanced power relationship between multiple parties and transforms the space to a meaningful place that each party can claim and benefit from.
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.
