国外高尔夫旅游研究进展及启示

Progress and Enlightenments of Foreign Golf Tourism Study

高尔夫旅游是高尔夫运动与旅游资源结合的产物,近年来随着人们收入的增长而得到蓬勃的发展。本文通过对国外关于高尔夫旅游研究文献的分析,发现国外学者对高尔夫旅游的研究涉入时间较早,其相关研究较为深入细致,主要包括对高尔夫旅游基础概念的探讨、高尔夫旅游者决策行为的影响因子分析、高尔夫旅游对经济、社会、环境影响的研究以及高尔夫旅游管理模式的提出等4个方面。而在研究方法方面,国外主要采用多学科综合方法,注重问卷调查与深度访谈相结合,选取知名高尔夫球场/俱乐部作为案例地,获取一手数据资料进行分析,以模型构建与数理统计的研究结果来支撑定性的描述。最后就国外的研究现状进行总结归纳,以期对中国高尔夫旅游的发展提供借鉴。

Golf tourism is a combination of golf and tourism resources. With the income increase in recent years, golf tourism is growing rapidly. This article is based on the international literature on golf tourism and finds that foreign scholars have involved in golf tourism earlier and their study results are more intensive. Their researches cover mainly the concept of golf tourism, golf tourist decision-making behavior, the economic, social and environmental impacts of golf tourism and golf tourism management model. In the research methods, for- eign studies mainly use multi-disciplinary approaches focusing on survey and interview, selecting well-known golf courses and clubs as cases, accessing primary data for analysis and adopting model construction and mathematical statistics to support the qualitative description. Finally, this paper summarized the recent status of international studies, in order to provide references for the healthy development of Chinese golf tourism.
