Abstract

Various authors have shown how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are transforming the travel experience to the point of undermining the original traveler objectives. Largely based on the traveler and technology relationship, most previous analyses have assumed that the changing travel experience is attributable to the ICTs. From a survey based on 53 semi-structured interviews, this paper shows the inadequacy of seeking to understood traveler attempts to disconnect from ICTs as symptomatic of the relationship between travelers and technologies. The authors content that it is equally important to understand travelers’ use of ICTs within the wider context of late modernity which has induced particular relationships amongst relatives and the deployment of ICTs. The article highlights limitations of previous ethnographic approaches in ICT studies using the example of their role in the travel experience.

在现代性晚期的旅行中，与信息通信技术(ict)脱节的体验

许多作者都展示了信息和通信技术(ict)如何改变旅行体验，从而破坏了旅行者最初的目标。以前的大多数分析主要基于旅行者与技术的关系，假设旅行体验的变化可归因于信息通信技术。基于53个半结构化访谈的调查显示，试图理解旅行者试图脱离ict是旅行者与技术之间关系的症状是不充分的。作者认为，在更广泛的晚期现代性背景下，理解旅行者对信息通信技术的使用同样重要，这导致了亲属之间的特殊关系和信息通信技术的部署。这篇文章强调了以前的民族志方法在ICT研究中的局限性，并以其在旅行体验中的作用为例。

期刊介绍： Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism. The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods. While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain. Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized. Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism. Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome. Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment. The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process. Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
