商品描述

This book investigates all facets of Chinese tourism in a single destination, and its fascinating rise and evolution. It provides an overview of the first two decades of twenty-first century Chinese tourism in Australia, covering the early days, when Chinese tourism was mainly guided package tours with tourists visiting standard iconic sites, and its evolution into more individualistic tourism, with younger tourists seeking out sites of particular interest. Many of these 'new sites' are places where self-photography has particular merit, chosen in part because they are colourful, and images are distributed in real time to communicate with others and enhance social status. This quest for distinctiveness and colour has contributed to creating a distinctly Chinese tourist geography of Australia, analysed here in relation to conventional tourism geographies.

The book takes a deliberately chronological approach to focus on the speed of change, discussing the more exciting and active 'new tourism' in ways that integrate qualitative and quantitative research, and provide a basis for international comparison and discussion of key emerging themes in tourism studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了中國旅遊在單一目的地的各個面向,以及其迷人的崛起與演變。它提供了二十一世紀前二十年中國旅遊在澳大利亞的概述,涵蓋了早期的日子,那時中國旅遊主要是以導遊帶領的套裝行程,遊客參觀標準的地標性景點,並演變為更具個人主義的旅遊,年輕遊客尋找特別感興趣的地點。許多這些「新景點」是自我攝影特別有價值的地方,部分原因是它們色彩繽紛,並且影像即時分享以與他人溝通並提升社會地位。對於獨特性和色彩的追求促成了澳大利亞獨特的中國旅遊地理,並在此與傳統旅遊地理進行分析。

本書採取了故意的時間順序方法,專注於變化的速度,討論更令人興奮和活躍的「新旅遊」,以整合定性和定量研究的方式,並為國際比較和旅遊研究中關鍵新興主題的討論提供基礎。
