商品描述

This book offers a bird's-eye view of the current trends, opportunities, and challenges related to Asian youth travellers, and it also presents a holistic framework for future research to build upon. Managerial and policy implications are provided for the tourism and hospitality industry and government agencies to better accommodate the needs of Asian youth travellers - a unique and diverse market that is yet to be fully unveiled to the world.


The book investigates the key characteristics that define contemporary Asian youth travellers, adopting a broad definition of Asia. While it includes relatively mature markets, it also features emerging markets in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. The book looks at different forms of tourism undertaken by Asian travellers, encompassing educational tourism, adventure tourism, working holiday, self-driving tourism, dark tourism, volunteer tourism, and cultural tourism.


A wide range of topics are discussed, from history to current trends, from motivations to constraints, from the influence of culture and religion on travel behaviour to the search of social freedom through travel, and from destination choice to destination avoidance. The findings and interpretations are drawn from diverse and novel research methods, such as netnography, visual anthropology, historiography, interview, focus group, survey, and document analysis.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了對於亞洲青年旅客當前趨勢、機會和挑戰的全景式觀察,並提出了一個全面的框架,以供未來研究進一步發展。書中為旅遊和款待業以及政府機構提供了管理和政策上的建議,以更好地滿足亞洲青年旅客的需求——這是一個獨特且多樣化的市場,尚未完全向世界揭示。

本書探討了定義當代亞洲青年旅客的關鍵特徵,並採用了廣泛的亞洲定義。雖然涵蓋了相對成熟的市場,但也包括了東南亞、南亞和西亞的新興市場。本書考察了亞洲旅客所從事的不同形式的旅遊,包括教育旅遊、冒險旅遊、打工度假、自駕旅遊、黑暗旅遊、志願者旅遊和文化旅遊。

書中討論了廣泛的主題,從歷史到當前趨勢,從動機到限制,從文化和宗教對旅行行為的影響到通過旅行尋求社會自由,還有從目的地選擇到目的地迴避。研究結果和解釋來自多樣且新穎的研究方法,如網絡民族誌、視覺人類學、歷史學、訪談、焦點小組、調查和文獻分析。
