女性旅游者研究综述

A Review on the Studies on Female Tourists

作为旅游市场的重要组成部分,女性市场已经成为业界普遍关注的重点,但理论研究相对滞后和缺乏。文章搜集了国内外关于女性旅游者的所有可检索到的文献,按照从一般到特殊的研究方法将以往研究成果归纳为一般女性旅游者研究、特殊女性旅游者研究两类,而后者又分为特定区域女性旅游者、特殊群体女性旅游者、特定时期女性旅游者三个研究方向。文章在对文献的总结和梳理的基础上,指出国内外对女性旅游者的研究角度各有偏颇和利弊,国内的研究在总体上落后于国外。

As an essential part in tourism market, female tourists have attracted the attention of tourism industry, but the corresponding research and exploration on this issue is comparatively scarce and shallow. This paper collects the related references through Internet and library either in English or in Chinese, and put all of them into two categories such as general female tourists and particular female tourists. Based on the summary and induction of the former research achievements on the female tourists, this paper points out that the research perspectives on this issue vary greatly from home to abroad, each has its own focus and emphasis, but both haven＇t reached needed depth and width; in general, the research on this hot issue in China falls behind that of other foreign countries.
