文化旅游研究的述评与展望——基于《旅游与文化协同作用》学术效应的视角

Review and Prospect of cultural Tourism research:From the Perspective of Academic Effects in Tourism and Culture Synergy

文章以“culture and tourism”作为关键词,检索ScienceDirect与EBSCOhost两大数据库中已发表的实证研究成果,总结归纳文化旅游研究期刊的出版现状、研究案例地的分布、统计研究方法的应用以及研究主题、应用理论和未来研究的发展趋势。结果显示,在47项实证研究中,涉及21本国际期刊,涵盖了52个研究领域和26个国家;大多数研究选择游客作为抽样对象,研究方法为访谈和问卷调查,使用原始数据;研究主题包括文化旅游的消费、文化旅游的动机、文化旅游经济学问题、文化遗产旅游、创意经济旅游、文化旅游人类学问题、饮食文化旅游。最后,文章建议未来研究加入更多理论作为支撑,考虑使用不同的研究方法,如扎根理论、社会网络分析、大数据分析,以及将视野移至暂未被关注的文化资源地区。

After the United Nations World Tourism Organization(UNWTO)released the Report on tourism and culture synergies in 2018,we found that no scholars conducted the comprehensive review and assessment in the field of cultural tourism.Therefore,this study aims to determine the admission status of cultural tourism research journals,the main distribution of research areas,the application of statistical research methods,and the development trend of research topics,applied theories and concepts through a comprehensive analysis and an in-depth qualitative assessment.We classified and analyzed the articles about cultural tourism in two major databases-Science Direct and EBSCO Host.The main findings show that out of 47 empirical studies,21 journals have published articles on culture and tourism in 2019.It involved 52 study areas and 26 countries.The most common research methods are interviews and questionnaires.Most of the studies choose tourists as the sampling objects and use primary data.The main topics include cultural consumption,motivations,economic aspects of cultural tourism,cultural heritage,creative economy,anthropology,and food culture tourism.Our findings suggested that future research could apply more theory to a topic.A single theory can also be used to study different topics.Different innovative research methods can also be considered,such as grounded theory,social network analysis,and big data analysis.Exploring the cultural resources in the backward areas of tourism industry can bring more social value and practical significance.
