商品描述

This book investigates all facets of Chinese tourism in a single destination, and its fascinating rise and evolution. It provides an overview of the first two decades of twenty-first century Chinese tourism in Australia, covering the early days, when Chinese tourism was mainly guided package tours with tourists visiting standard iconic sites, and its evolution into more individualistic tourism, with younger tourists seeking out sites of particular interest. Many of these 'new sites' are places where self-photography has particular merit, chosen in part because they are colourful, and images are distributed in real time to communicate with others and enhance social status. This quest for distinctiveness and colour has contributed to creating a distinctly Chinese tourist geography of Australia, analysed here in relation to conventional tourism geographies.

The book takes a deliberately chronological approach to focus on the speed of change, discussing the more exciting and active 'new tourism' in ways that integrate qualitative and quantitative research, and provide a basis for international comparison and discussion of key emerging themes in tourism studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了中國旅遊在一個目的地的各個方面，以及其迷人的崛起和演變。它概述了21世紀前兩個十年中中國旅遊在澳大利亞的情況，包括早期時期，中國旅遊主要是由導遊帶領的團體旅遊，遊客參觀標誌性的景點，以及其演變為更加個體化的旅遊，年輕遊客尋找特定興趣的景點。其中許多“新景點”是自拍具有特殊價值的地方，部分原因是它們色彩豐富，圖像可以即時傳播以與他人交流並提升社會地位。這種尋求獨特性和色彩的追求有助於創造出澳大利亞的中國旅遊地理，本書在傳統旅遊地理的基礎上對其進行了分析。

本書採用有意的時間順序方法，著重於變化的速度，討論了更令人興奮和活躍的“新旅遊”，並以整合定性和定量研究的方式提供了國際比較和旅遊研究中關鍵新興主題的討論基礎。
