Travel is increasingly imagined as a socio-technical practice wherein ICTs are integrated with experience. In this context, in addition to the movement of the traveller within and between places, and encounters with peoples, cultures, and landscapes, the activity of travel is constituted within various forms of online interactions. Emphasising this point, emerging industry and theoretical paradigms such as ‘smart tourism’ propose the use of social media and digital devices as ubiquitous and essential to the future of tourism. This paper uses the theoretical concept of mediatization—the integration and influence of media forms within social practice—to explore how the embeddedness of ICTs influences tourism, focusing on the avatar of online communication in particular. ICTs bridge distances in time and space, support the construction of personal identity and community, and channel the data flows permitting informationisation, with these characteristics likewise being reflected in the textures of contemporary tourism. Tourists’ use of ICTs is conceptualised through the model of the “dual journey”, a vision of hybridised travel in which online and physical spheres are interwoven in the construction and consumption of tourist experience. The purpose of this conceptual investigation is not only to consider the intensification of communication within tourism but also to highlight the ways in which tourists’ communicative practices are enfolded within, and become, tourism.
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.
