“…Jacobs and Karkabi studied on sex and romance between female tourists from first world and the local males in Sinai Island in Africa (Jacobs, 2009(Jacobs, , 2012Karkabi, 2011). They found that female tourists tried to experience ordinariness in some pre-modern destinations; motivations of such travel are basically the same as North American female tourists in Caribbean (Mullings, 1999).…”

“…From the perspective of modernity, Jacobs suggested that difficulties in matching spouse and social gender stereotypes marginalized these females in their society (Jacobs, 2009). This argument is similar to the research conducted by Herold and Taylor.…”

“…ONSs and love affairs have been discussed in previous studies which suggest that risk taking and exotic experience be the main purpose of these activities in the destinations (Bauer & McKercher, 2003;Trauer & Ryan, 2005;Zhang & Sun, 2016), while long-term relationship is shed light on with perspectives of resources exchange, which emphasizes on individual resources, such as physical attraction, social capital and political capital etc. Some researchers made a comparison between the original regions of both sides and found that the gap of social development drove the couples to move to the more developed regions for living (Cohen, Hitchcock, King, & Parnwell, 1993;Jacobs, 2009). The external factors of such intercultural communication are not paid enough attention to, which makes Yangshuo become a special case of intermarriage between hosts and guests.…”

Host-guest relationship in tourist destinations is a type of cross-cultural communication in nature, within which intermarriage is the most significant form of interaction and communication. Intermarriage refers to inter-ethnic and transnational marriage, which was seldom studied in tourism contexts compared with one-night stands (hereafter referred to as "ONSs") and love affairs in tourist destinations. In Yangshuo, intermarriage is a unique phenomenon as these couples are more than those of other counties with approximate population. The reasons why intermarriage exists in Yangshuo are the questions of the study. Ethnographic research paradigm and qualitative analyses are applied in the study with particular research methods such as participating observation and in-depth interview etc. More than 70 interviewees are interviewed in the field trip of 140 days in the case. Conclusions are as follows: 1) cultural capital is the main attraction, which consists of physical attraction, language proficiency in English and cultural image in personality, 2) Yangshuo is a unique destination whose external factors, such as countryside landscape, low consumption rate, friendly local tour guides and cross-cultural tourist products and comprehensive communities, facilitate intermarriage. Theories such as cultural capital, social adaption and mobility are involved in conclusion and discussion.

“…Oppermann (1999) proposed a framework of sex tourism, wherein six parameters are used to describe sex tourism types: intentions to have sex with strangers on holiday (ranging from no intention or full intentions); whether money is involved; length of stay together from minutes to years; relationship from the first time meeting to a long-term relationship; sex encounters from voyeurism to intercourse; and whether the traveler might be a sex-seeker or sex provider. To date, many of these types of encounter have been discussed in the literature (Bauer, 2014;Herold, Garcia, & DeMoya, 2001;Jacobs, 2009;Pruitt & LaFont, 1995;Ryan, & Kinder, 1996;Weichselbaumer, 2012).…”

“…Ryan (2003) suggested that while the issue of fathers has been ignored by tourism academics the demand for family holidays and its potential to create meaningful family relationships can be of more societal importance than the economic impacts of tourism. Engagements with masculinities in tourism are mainly restricted to sex tourism (Jacobs, 2009;Padilla, 2007) and are absent within the family tourism literature.…”

Word count: 554659Key words: family holidays, gender relations, fathers, mothers, masculinities, tourist experiences 2 AbstractThe lack of research into fathers on holiday is a reminder that understandings of masculinities and gender relations in tourism are absent compared to other disciplinary areas. Research on family holiday experiences is largely informed by feminist gender representations rather then examinations of femininities and masculinities. True gender scholarship requires more holistic and critical appraisals of gender relations that recognise the intersection between gender and other social roles. This lead to the adoption of whole-family research for this study into domestic summer holiday experiences in New Zealand, based on ten families (ten fathers, ten mothers, and 20 children) being interviewed three times over the course of one year. The findings highlighted similarities and differences in the meanings and roles for the fathers and mothers. For example, fathers take on primary responsibilities as entertainer of the children and facilitator of mothers' own interests, roles which are little acknowledged in the literature.
