“…Souvenirs are objects of visitor interpretation with personal and collective meanings (Decrop & Masset, 2017;Kleine & Kernan, 1991). The observations indicate that the CRM partnership allows both the museum and the shop to collaboratively assert their missions, their identities, and tell their stories in the production of souvenirs.…”

“…For the children, their souvenirs have the capacity to 'define who we are', reinforcing bonds 'with whom we are', and narrating 'our stories of who we are'. Dark souvenirs can help the children to establish themselves as individuals as well as members of a group, and thus they straddle both the individual and collective signification (Decrop & Masset, 2017;Trinh et al, 2014). Dark souvenirs have the capacity to emphasise the personal significance and the wider collective understanding of experience (Belk, 1988(Belk, , 1992Timothy, 2005).…”

Dark tourism shops have faced considerable moral criticism. This study draws on site observation and worksheets associated with a field trip to the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to examine children's souvenir purchasing experiences. Employing thematic analysis of children's narratives, the findings reveal that dark souvenirs can facilitate contextualisation of the site, emotional engagement, and symbolic meanings for the purchase of such souvenirs. Souvenirs and souveniring are discussed in reference to cause-related marketing strategies to balance the commemorative, educational, and economic objectives. The cause-related marketing partnership between the museum and charitable organisation enhances the acceptance of the souvenir shop and its products. The concept of cause-related marketing is valuable for explaining museum and charity shop dynamics, to inform effective management.

China’s tourism industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but also promoted the rise of cultural and creative industries. However, due to the immature development of cultural and creative industries and inadequate market supervision, there are many deficiencies in cultural and creative products. At the same time, the quality of Museum souvenirs is uneven, and the utilization rate of resources is low. Given this phenomenon, the author puts forward the method of “PREACH March,” and applies this method and sustainable design theory to the development of creative products in the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Taking the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum as an example, this paper analyses the defects of the existing souvenirs, refers to the design of the cultural creation products of the Palace Museum, redesigns the souvenirs of its museum sustainably, and solves the problem of how to make the museum souvenirs no longer be placed. “PREACH March” is applied to the design of the museum souvenirs of Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, and a sustainable and recyclable bookmark is successfully designed. The purpose of this paper is to put forward a practical method for the design of cultural and creative products in the future, and to guide future design to follow the concept of sustainable development.

Although there are many studies addressing the purchase of souvenirs, a few provide practical insights for practitioners in the souvenir industry regarding tourist’s preferred souvenir attributes, what they purchase, and how much they spend. Furthermore, little is known about souvenir collectors’ preferences. To address these gaps, this study analyzes tourists’ souvenir purchasing behavior with both quantitative (277 responses to a questionnaire) and qualitative (85 interviews) methods. The results indicate that the quality of the souvenir, gift appropriateness, and having the name or design of the place visited were the souvenir attributes most valued by the tourists. The results also reveal the importance of souvenir collectors, since they buy more souvenirs and spend higher amounts per souvenir. Further insights are given regarding the purchase of souvenirs, providing practical implications for practitioners in the souvenir industry.
