Abstract

Given the scarcity of research on working tourists, this exploratory study examines lv xing yi gong’s (i.e. the local independent Chinese working tourists) place attachment to the destination based on Scannell and Gifford’s tripartite model of place attachment. Data were drawn from a netnographic study of 98 blogs following 23 in-depth interviews. Findings demonstrate Chinese local working tourists’ place attachment in three dimensions: person, process, and place. This study not only confirms the applicability of Scannell and Gifford’s model in the context of Chinese local working tourists, but also identifies some contextual differences. More importantly, this article also provides valuable insights into the under-theorized sense of place among working tourists and identifies practical implications for tourism destination authorities to better serve and manage Chinese working tourists.

在旅行和工作之外:中国当地工作游客的地方依恋

鉴于对工作游客的研究较少，本研究基于Scannell和Gifford的三方地方依恋模型，对吕行义公（即当地独立的中国工作游客）对目的地的地方依恋进行了探索性研究。数据来源于一项针对98个博客的网络研究，共进行了23次深度访谈。研究结果从人、过程和地点三个维度展示了中国本地工作游客的地点依恋。本研究不仅证实了Scannell和Gifford模型在中国本地工作游客背景下的适用性，还发现了一些背景差异。更重要的是，这篇文章还为在职游客中理论不足的地方感提供了宝贵的见解，并为旅游目的地当局更好地服务和管理中国在职游客提供了实际启示。

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.
