游客感官体验:研究述评与展望

The Tourist Sensory Experience:A Research Review and Prospects

感官是人体收集信息的核心工具。游客感官体验是旅游体验的组成部分,通过接收来自视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉等感觉器官的刺激而形成。目前游客感官体验相关研究虽已取得一定进展但尚缺少关于该主题的系统论述与展望。本研究在对游客感官体验相关概念进行界定的基础上,从游客感官体验的研究态势、内容、机制等方面进行系统回顾,并在此基础上提出未来研究主题,包括概念界定和测量内容的完善、挖掘游客感官体验内在形成机制,以及丰富不同旅游阶段、目的地和不同游客类型的感官体验研究等方面,旨在丰富和提升游客感官体验研究的深度和广度。

Just as the senses are core tools in a human body’s ability to collect information,the tourist sensory experience plays an integral part of the tourist experience.The tourist sensory experience is formed by receiving stimuli from sensory organs and translating it into vision,hearing,smell,taste,and touch.Although research on tourist sensory experiences has made some progress,there remains a lack of systematic discussion and outlook on this topic.So as to defi ne the relevant concepts relating to a tourist’s sensory experience,this study systematically reviews the prevailing body of research in reference to the situation,content,and mechanism behind tourist sensory experiences.This study then proposes future research themes,including the refi nement of the concept and measurement content,the exploration of the intrinsic formation mechanism of the tourist sensory experience,and the enrichment of sensory experiences of different tourism phases,multiple destinations,and diff erentiated tourist types,with the aim of enriching and enhancing the depth and breadth of the research on tourist sensory experiences.
