Market structure and profitability in the international tourist hotel industry

This paper adopts Hsiao (1986) panel data techniques, with metropolitan-level panel data from Taiwan, to examine how the market structures of various related service markets and hotels’ locations affect hotels’ profitability. The empirical results indicate that: (1) market concentration in rooms could significantly improve international tourist hotels’ profitability, while concentration in the food and beverage markets have positive but insignificant effects, and (2) the locations of the international tourist hotels significantly affect their profitability.     

游客体验的模糊综合评价方法——基于宜昌市景区的问卷调查

关注游客主观体验和对景区的反馈评价,通过对宜昌市域14景区的问卷调查,获得第一手资料,并进行模糊综合评价分析.通过游客对各因子满意度和关注度的排序,揭示了旅游发展中服务环节薄弱、景区配套协调不足等问题.依据满意度与关注度将因子分类,分别提出改善策略并排列优先级,最后提出了突出景区资源禀赋优势、完善旅游支撑保障体系等建议.     

Validating the international tourist role scale

This study was designed to validate the international tourist role scale and the three dimensions it revealed. The purpose of this attitudinal scale was to measure the tourist role typology. United States adult outbound tourists flying with 11 major airlines returned useful questionnaires. This study validated the role scale as a reliable one that properly identified three conceptual dimensions of international tourist typology and successfully provided measures of tourists’ novelty-seeking preferences on the three dimensions. The study demonstrated, however, that the scale would measure the novelty-seeking preferences of international tourists more effectively if it were supplemented by other measures.

韩国疗养保健客源市场分析

疗养保健客源市场是发展涉外疗养保健服务贸易的关键所在。早在2000年韩国已经步入老龄化社会,且老龄化趋势持续进一步加剧。利用韩国统计厅公布的资料,从韩国的人口结构、医疗保健、社会环境、社会福利分析入手,深入研究韩国疗养保健客源市场,发现韩国特定的人口结构状况及医疗保健等方面存在诸多问题,可为我国开发韩国老龄人口疗养保健市场提供可能性和必要性。     

我国入境旅游者流动行为机理分析——对旅游热点城市西安的实证研究

旅游者流动机理是旅游地理学与旅游者行为学交叉研究的重要内容。推—拉理论是解释游客流动原因的一种有效方法。以西安入境旅游者为研究对象,从推—拉理论的视角,运用因子分析、单因素方差分析和皮尔逊相关分析等方法对来华入境游客的流动机理进行研究,得到的主要结论有:①明确了西安入境旅游者推力维度和拉力维度的各个因子;②检测了推拉维度的各因子受社会人口统计学变量的影响;③测度了推拉维度各因子之间的相互关联性及影响因素。研究成果对指导我国各主要旅游城市进行针对性的产品开发和市场营销具有一定的实践价值,同时在理论上也拓展了国内旅游流推力与拉力之间关系研究的范畴。     

旅华外国游客旅游目的地选择影响因素实证研究

以2008年在北京、上海、广州、西安、桂林、昆明等热点旅游城市收集的一手数据为基础,应用描述性分析和因子分析等手段,系统分析旅华游客目的地选择影响因素。结果发现:旅游交通、服务和设施等促成因素构成了目的地选择的核心影响因素,价格、时间和距离等限制性因素的作用位居第二层次,而旅游景区、东道主好客性等核心吸引物的作用最小。此外,由于经济、社会、文化和旅游者个体特征的差异,欧美等洲际客源选择目的地时更多地考虑吸引物因素,而洲内客源更多地考虑限制性因素。     

Different but Similar: Social Comparison of Travel Motives Among Tourists

Although previous research suggests that people prefer to think of themselves as being authentic (or individualistic) travellers rather than stereotyped tourists, there have been few studies investigating the external validity of such claim. This paper addresses this research gap by investigating tendencies to dissociate the self from typical tourists in terms of travel motivation. Findings suggest that people perceive their own travel motives to be different from those who they perceive as typical tourists and that these tendencies generalize across people involved in different forms of tourism. This paper discusses the results from a social psychological perspective and provides implications for future research and destination management alike. © 2014 The Authors.

基于人类学视角对“旅游体验”的新思考

“体验经济”概念提出后,很快成为全球热点。受其影响,我国旅游学术界和业界也开始了对“旅游体验”的关注。但由于长期受“经济产业”思路的局限,我国的“旅游体验”研究还缺乏系统性和较深层次的思考。旅游作为人类社会的一种精神文化活动,从本质上决定了文化因素是“旅游体验”成败的关键,而文化往往是通过一些符号或物质载体体现出来的,这就涉及到“真实性”的问题。因此。“旅游体验”问题还应结合人类学相关理论从“文化真实”及“主客关系”等方面进行深入分析。“旅游体验”的研究还需把握真实性、社区参与及文化涵化三个重要概念。同时,旅游体验的“虚拟真实性”应作为一个全新的概念被提出和界定。     

归因偏差视角下旅游行为失范成因研究

游客旅游行为失范时有发生,威胁着旅游资源与环境安全。心理归因影响个体行为逻辑,归因偏差是解释心理归因的经典理论。本文引入归因偏差理论,采用实证方法探究旅游行为失范背后的归因偏差因素,为减少旅游行为失范提供心理学依据。研究发现,归因偏差能够引致旅游者心理认知偏差,后者直接引发和助推旅游行为失范。心理环境和群体心理对引致旅游者的心理认知偏差和行为失范具有显著作用,归因偏差成为旅游者弱化旅游行为失范结果的心理屏障,可激发或促进旅游行为失范的发生或持续。研究认为旅游地可从完善硬件监控、控制游客流量、强化失范行为负面教育、发挥在场监督作用等方式削弱归因偏差效应。
