Abstract

This study examines how Global South female solo travelers discursively (dis)engage colonial structures through online travel narratives. Although there is a substantial body of research on tourism and coloniality, few scholars have examined these concepts through a gendered perspective, using a decolonial framework. This interpretive study draws on a decolonial lens and textual analysis to examine blogs created by three solo female travelers, with roots in the Global South. The findings indicate that the three solo travelers discursively re-signify their Identity, express their Agency, and advocate for Inclusive Tourism. A key contribution of this study is its demonstration of how decolonial practices manifest in everyday life and touristic spaces.

殖民结构之争：女性独自旅行者的案例

本研究考察了全球南方女性独自旅行者如何通过在线旅行叙事话语性地（非）参与殖民结构。虽然有大量关于旅游和殖民的研究，但很少有学者使用非殖民化的框架，从性别角度来研究这些概念。本解释性研究以非殖民化视角和文本分析，检视三位独立女性旅行者的部落格，这些部落格都来自全球南方。研究结果表明，这三位独自旅行者通过话语重新表明了他们的身份，表达了他们的代理，并倡导全包旅游。这项研究的一个关键贡献是它展示了非殖民实践如何在日常生活和旅游空间中体现出来。

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.
