Abstract

The literature on the development of tourism destinations neglects to question their precise origins. Thus, it makes sense to research the when, how and why a particular place attracts tourists to the point of being considered an up-and-coming destination. The case of Trevinca-A Veiga (Galicia, Spain), a mountain area which is emerging as a tourism destination, is analysed through 28 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders regarding the initial phases of tourism development. Six different narratives (rather than simply one), regarding the emergence of Trevinca-A Veiga as a tourism destination, are identified. These are not mutually exclusive stories, rather, they appear interwoven and in dialogue with each other, complementing and sometimes even contradicting each other. The article shows that the origin of a destination has to be understood not only in its materiality but also through its intangible dimensions. This includes discussing the place name used by a destination and its spatial coverage and scale, and negotiating the dimension and type of demand that is desired. Therefore, the origin of a destination is a process with multiple interpretations sustained by a complex social net. The conclusions include a set of recommendations for tourism destination development in a mountain area with no previous development.

山地旅游目的地的发明:特雷文卡-维加(西班牙加利西亚)探险

关于旅游目的地发展的文献忽略了对其确切起源的质疑。因此，研究一个特定的地方何时、如何以及为什么会吸引游客，从而被认为是一个有前途的目的地是有意义的。Trevinca-A - Veiga(西班牙加利西亚)是一个正在成为旅游目的地的山区，通过与利益相关者就旅游发展的初始阶段进行28次半结构化访谈，对其进行了分析。关于特雷文卡-维加作为旅游目的地的出现，确定了六种不同的叙述(而不是简单的一种)。这些故事并非相互排斥，而是相互交织，相互对话，相互补充，有时甚至相互矛盾。本文表明，一个目的地的起源不仅要从它的物质性维度来理解，还要从它的无形维度来理解。这包括讨论目的地使用的地名及其空间覆盖范围和规模，以及协商所需需求的维度和类型。因此，目的地的起源是一个由复杂的社会网络支撑的多重解释过程。结论包括一套建议，在山区旅游目的地的发展，没有以前的开发。

期刊介绍： Tourist Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal providing a platform for the development of critical perspectives on the nature of tourism as a social phenomenon through a qualitative lens. Theoretical and multi-disciplinary. Tourist Studies provides a critical social science approach to the study of the tourist and the structures which influence tourist behaviour and the production and reproduction of tourism. The journal examines the relationship between tourism and related fields of social inquiry. Tourism and tourist styles consumption are not only emblematic of many features of contemporary social change, such as mobility, restlessness, the search for authenticity and escape, but they are increasingly central to economic restructuring, globalization, the sociology of consumption and the aestheticization of everyday life. Tourist Studies analyzes these features of tourism from a multi-disciplinary perspective and seeks to evaluate, compare and integrate approaches to tourism from sociology, socio-psychology, leisure studies, cultural studies, geography and anthropology. Global Perspective. Tourist Studies takes a global perspective of tourism, widening and challenging the established views of tourism presented in current periodical literature. Tourist Studies includes: Theoretical analysis with a firm grounding in contemporary problems and issues in tourism studies, qualitative analyses of tourism and the tourist experience, reviews linking theory and policy, interviews with scholars at the forefront of their fields, review essays on particular fields or issues in the study of tourism, review of key texts, publications and visual media relating to tourism studies, and notes on conferences and other events of topical interest to the field of tourism studies.
