Abstract

ABSTRACT Tourist satisfaction is a crucial issue for managers of tourism destinations. Scholars have analysed the motivations for academic tourism, but there is a lack of research on the emotional bonds with the destination. This study confirms the existence of a cycle with different stages of attachment and detachment with regard to destination, based on four phases: enchantment, coexistence, fatigue and nostalgia. These phases are analysed in relation to the cultural values of tourists and the time spent at the destination. A mixed-methods approach is used based on primary data collected by means of a focus group and a survey of 200 foreign students in Barcelona to validate the aforesaid phases. The results confirm this destination attachment cycle and show that when academic tourists come from a culturally similar society to the destination, this positively influences the stages of enchantment, coexistence and nostalgia, but not fatigue.

目标附件周期。以学术旅游为例

摘要旅游者满意度是旅游目的地管理者关注的一个重要问题。学者们分析了学术旅游的动机，但缺乏对与目的地情感联系的研究。这项研究证实了一个关于目的地的依恋和分离不同阶段的循环的存在，基于四个阶段：着迷、共存、疲劳和怀旧。这些阶段是根据游客的文化价值观和在目的地度过的时间进行分析的。基于焦点小组收集的初步数据和对巴塞罗那200名外国学生的调查，采用了混合方法来验证上述阶段。研究结果证实了这种目的地依恋循环，并表明当学术游客来自与目的地文化相似的社会时，这对着迷、共存和怀旧阶段产生了积极影响，但对疲劳没有影响。

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
