Abstract

This research note introduces the concept of ‘small encounters’ and highlights its importance for the tourist experience. Defined as situations where tourists briefly encounter residents, small encounters are temporally brief, physically distanced, cursory in terms of involvement and often revolve around everyday situations. The concept is developed and elaborated in a dialogue between our own empirical findings from a larger study of Chinese tourists visiting Copenhagen, Denmark, and the literature on social contact, gazing, and mundane tourism experiences.
小相遇,大体验——论游客与居民偶遇的意义
这份研究报告介绍了“小相遇”的概念,并强调了它对游客体验的重要性。小型接触是指游客与居民短暂接触的情况,这种接触在时间上是短暂的,身体上是距离的,在参与方面是粗略的,通常围绕着日常情况。这一概念是在我们对到访丹麦哥本哈根的中国游客进行的一项更大规模研究的实证结果与有关社会接触、凝视和世俗旅游体验的文献之间的对话中发展和阐述的。
