Abstract

ABSTRACT Crime fiction literature is enjoyed worldwide for its intriguing mysteries and cultural references depending on the author's nationality or where the narrative takes place. The rising marketing trend of crime fiction literature significantly impacts literary tourism. Famous writers and their works are exploited by destination management organizations and used as a marketing tool; however, this is not happening in Greece. This research explores the sub-niche market of crime fiction literary tourism in Greece and focuses on its potential and limitations. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first to explore the perspectives of crime fiction authors, publishers, and agents on the subject of crime fiction literary tourism, conducting qualitative research. The results indicate the lack of a national policy in the general market of literary tourism and the lack of understanding concerning the dynamics of crime fiction novels constituting tourism in Greece.

“米科诺斯谋杀案”:希腊犯罪小说文学旅游的潜力与局限

犯罪小说文学因其引人入胜的神秘感和文化参考而享誉世界，这取决于作者的国籍或叙事发生地。犯罪小说文学市场化趋势的兴起对文学旅游产生了重大影响。著名作家及其作品被目的地管理组织利用，并被用作营销工具；然而，这种情况在希腊并没有发生。本研究探索了希腊犯罪小说文学旅游的细分市场，并重点探讨了其潜力和局限性。据我们所知，本研究首次探讨了犯罪小说作者、出版商和代理商对犯罪小说文学旅游主题的看法，进行了定性研究。研究结果表明，在文学旅游的总体市场上缺乏国家政策，对犯罪小说小说构成希腊旅游业的动态也缺乏了解。

期刊介绍： Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change ( JTCC ) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal. It focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in an increasingly complex global context. JTCC provides a forum for debate against the backdrop of local, regional, national and transnational understandings of identity and difference. Economic restructuring, recognitions of the cultural dimension of biodiversity and sustainable development, contests regarding the positive and negative impact of patterns of tourist behaviour on cultural diversity, and transcultural strivings - all provide an important focus for JTCC . Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple ''ways of being'', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume material culture. JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate by: -Adopting a multidisciplinary approach -Encouraging deep and critical approaches to policy and practice -Embracing an inclusive definition of culture -Focusing on the concept, processes and meanings of change -Encouraging trans-national/transcultural perspectives
