Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the imaginaries of Generation Z inhabitants of heritage cities in the Mexican Bajio regarding their city of residence and the institutional imaginary of urban tourism. Design/methodology/approach A total of 186 students from five Mexican heritage cities completed an online questionnaire and participated in focus groups. The authors used a mixed approach with qualitative analysis for open-ended responses and a Kruskal Wallis test to measure attitudes towards tourism and its relationship to place attachment and intangible cultural heritage identification. Findings The results showed a strong relationship between place attachment and perception of tourism, but attitudes towards tourism varied among the cities, and San Juan del Río was an outlier. Among the categories of intangible cultural heritage, oral traditions showed the least agreement between youth and institutional imaginaries. Originality/value Few studies have considered Mexican youth and their imagery of the small/medium-sized city in which they live when it is promoted as an urban tourist destination.
关于墨西哥巴jio城市的非物质文化遗产和旅游业的想象
本文的目的是比较墨西哥巴吉奥遗产城市的Z世代居民对其居住城市的想象和城市旅游的制度性想象。设计/方法/方法来自五个墨西哥遗产城市的186名学生完成了一份在线问卷,并参加了焦点小组。作者使用了一种混合方法,对开放式回答进行定性分析,并使用Kruskal Wallis测试来衡量人们对旅游的态度及其与地方依恋和非物质文化遗产鉴定的关系。结果表明,地方依恋与旅游感知之间存在很强的关系,但对旅游的态度在城市之间存在差异,圣胡安德尔Río是一个例外。在非物质文化遗产的类别中,口头传统表现出青年与机构想象之间最不一致的情况。原创性/价值很少有研究考虑到墨西哥青年和他们所居住的中小城市的形象,当它被推广为城市旅游目的地时。

期刊介绍: A peer-reviewed journal, the International Journal of Tourism Cities provides an international forum for the critical study of urban tourism and tourism cities. The journal aims to be inter-disciplinary in its appreciation of tourism cities and tourism in urban areas, and welcomes original, theoretically-informed articles from those involved in the planning, management or marketing of tourism in city destination or places adjoining urban areas. Urban tourism and travel cover many disciplines and impinge on numerous aspects of daily life within cities. Moreover, they play a key role in domestic and international tourism in most countries, and cities often function as key travel gateways and tourism destinations. The International Journal of Tourism Cities contents include primary research articles, expert discussions on current urban tourism issues, and tourism city case studies. Articles are selected that are relevant to both academics and practitioners. The journal particularly encourages contributions on contemporary topics and issues in urban tourism including smart cities and tourism, environmental impact and sustainable tourism development in cities, citizen and stakeholder involvement in tourism, city destination governance, and the development of policies and standards for city tourism development. The International Journal of Tourism Cities has four distinct purposes: To encourage greater research and scholarship related to tourism in urban settings. To stimulate more interdisciplinary research on tourism in cities, particularly the integration of tourism and urban studies theories and principles. To generate more research studies on tourism at the edge of cities, where urban and rural areas converge. To create more literature on best practices in city tourism worldwide through in-depth analyses and the production of exemplary case studies.
