Sustainable Development of Ice and Snow Tourism-Theory&Empirical Studies:Preface

冰雪旅游可持续发展:理论与实证研究

The Beijing Winter Olympics brought a historical miracle to the development of China’s ice and snow tourism.It is both an opportunity and a challenge to reap the extra dividends of the times and to develop China’s ice and snow tourism.By selecting 18 academic papers,this special issue deeply discusses the status quo and the future measures of ice and snow tourism in China from three aspects:ice and snow tourism development and management,the ice and snow tourism experience and its influencing factors,and ice and snow tourism impact assessment.Moreover,one part entitled“Tourism Culture and Ecotourism”has been set up to emphasize those cutting-edge research topics.It is worth mentioning that this issue is in-depth and has profound connotations.First of all,the research area ranges from national to regional to the city-level,including both longitudinal and horizontal research.In additon,the research methods are practical,innovative,and at the frontier of scientific research,and include industrial correlation analysis methods,kernel density,spatial autocorrelation and other geospatial analysis methods,content analysis methods,sentiment analysis methods,structural equation models,Delphi methods,spatial statistics methods,geographic detector method and many others.In general,this special issue combines qualitative research with quantitative research,provides a variety of theoretical perspectives such as perceived value theory,institutional evolution theory,etc.,and builds various useful models like the pre-competition evaluation model for ice and snow tourism heritage,the consumption skill-travel radius decision-making influence model under the moderating effect of the ski resort comprehensive leisure environment,the evaluation model of the suitability of glacier tourism resource development,the model of the relationship between tourists’experience value and loyalty in the context of ice and snow tourism,among others.These studies are expected to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the development of ice and snow tourism in the post-Winter Olympics era,and help ice and snow tourism develop in a sustainable and high-quality direction.

北京冬奥会为中国冰雪旅游发展带来历史性奇迹。把握时代红利,助力中国冰雪旅游发展是机遇,也是挑战。本专辑通过优选18篇学术论文,从冰雪旅游开发与管理、冰雪旅游体验及其影响因素、冰雪旅游影响评估三个方面深入探讨了冰雪旅游现状与未来;同时也设立了“旅游文化与生态旅游”专栏,分享旅游前沿研究热点。本专辑研究层次丰富,内涵深厚。研究区域从全国到区域,再到市县,同时包括纵向研究和横向研究。研究方法具有实用性、前沿性、创新性,包含产业关联分析方法、核密度、空间自相关等地理空间分析方法、内容分析法、情感分析法、结构方程模型、德尔菲法、空间统计方法、地理探测器方法等多种方法。本期专辑将定性研究与定量研究相结合,提供了感知价值理论、制度演化理论等多种理论视角,构建了冰雪旅游遗产赛前评估模型、雪场综合休闲环境调节作用下的消费技术–出游半径决策的影响模型、冰川旅游资源开发适宜性评价模型、冰雪旅游情境下游客体验价值与忠诚度关系的模型等多种模型。以期能够为后冬奥时代冰雪旅游发展提供理论和实践指导,助力冰雪旅游朝着可持续和高质量方向发展。
