This article provides an understanding of how tourists experience heritage urban spaces by investigating features that influence tourist experiences most. It is framed within urban design literature which refers to three elements of urban space namely physical setting (or form), activity and meaning. These elements are used to explore how urban spaces are experienced by tourists. Its findings are derived from an in-depth qualitative analysis of interviews with tourists to Valletta, Malta. The research suggests that the intrinsic qualities of the space are relevant to the tourist experience but what is even more relevant are the interactions of the tourist with different elements within that space, namely interactions with surroundings, interactions with others and interactions with self/meaning. Within this broad conceptual model, the research identifies important sub-themes. Some of these reinforce the findings of existing work on tourist experiences, but others are often underestimated or neglected.

“…Ademais, especificamente sobre os estudos publicados em periódicos estrangeiros, percebe-se uma preferência nítida nas abordagens utilizadas. Em estudos qualitativos, é recorrente a abordagem por meio de etnografias (ANDRIOTIS, 2010;BROWN, 2009;CARLISLE et al, 2013;CHRONIS, 2015;ES;REIJNDERS, 2016;ILVES;AIREY, 2016;PALMER, 2005) e seus desdobramentos mais recentes, como autoenografia (KOMPPULA; GARTNER, 2013; MACKENZIE; KERR, 2013) e netnografia (JANTA et al, 2011;TUSSYADIAH;FESENMAIER, 2009). Também há diversos autores que utilizam as entrevistas como método de coleta de dados (KIDRON, 2013;PAN, 2012;TUNG;SHANI;URIELY, 2012;TAN;KUNG;LUH, 2013), bem como grupos de foco (BUZINDE et al, 2014;COGHLAN;FILO, 2013;SHARPLEY;JEPSON, 2011).…”

Caderno Virtual de Turismo

Oferecer experiências em vez de serviços/produtos é um tópico que tem gerado atenção da academia e das organizações. As atividades turísticas possuem interseção com a experiência do visitante e o comportamento de consumo. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de revisar sistematicamente os estudos sobre a experiência turística. Para tanto, revisaram-se três periódicos de relevância nacional – Estudios y Perspectivas en Turismo (EyPT), Caderno Virtual de Turismo (CVT) e Revista Brasileira de Pesquisas em Turismo (RBTur) – bem como três periódicos de alto impacto internacional – Annals of Tourism Reserch (Annals), Tourism Management (TM) e Journal of Travel Research (JTR). As análises compreenderam três aspectos: i) métodos, ii) enfoque da unidade de análise e iii) abordagem da experiência dos artigos encontrados. Classificaram-se os estudos quanto à abordagem da experiência como: 1) vivência; 2) consumo; 3) transformações. Também são apontadas lacunas de pesquisa e orientações para pesquisas futuras.

“…The espousal of the performance turn in tourism scholarship ultimately implies a recognition that tourism emerges from corporeal and relational performances, and not merely by its imposition on a mere scenic backdrop (Edensor, 2001(Edensor, , 1998Larsen, 2012). Non-representational theories have enabled researchers to look more closely at the various types of actions and movements occurring during the host and guest encounter in tourism, for instance during guided tours (see, for instance, Chronis, 2015;Jóhannesson & Lund, 2017;Tucker, 2007) and at cultural and natural sites (see, for instance, Edensor, 1998;Knox, 2001;Waitt & Cook, 2007). This approach places the focus on what those involved in tourism commonly do and how they make sense of their practices, rather than seeing tourism as a placeless phenomenon disconnected from localised realities and/or existing only through exotic representations.…”

“…Tourism scholars have extensively studied tourism as a social assemblage where material interrelations and mundane embodied movements of doing, touching and being generate dynamic spaces (see, for instance, Chronis, 2015;Edensor, 2007;Obrador-Pons, 2007. Common equipment and tools, such as soil and shoes involve the human subject directly in the world by affording practices such as gardening and hiking (Crouch, 2003;Michael, 2000).…”

Dwelling and tourism: embracing the non-representational in the tourist landscape

The dwelling perspective outlines that landscapes are the product of embodied actions and practices. Landscape scholars studying tourism and tourism scholars studying landscapes have neglected to apply this perspective to local realities. Tourism most often represents an activity to integrate to the landscape, rather than a complex socio-spatial phenomenon. When embodiments are studied, it is generally to speak of the tourist experience. I propose using the dwelling perspective to infuse tourist landscapes with the non-representational ethos of materiality and embodiment. My proposition acknowledges the socio-cultural complexities that the tourist system imposes on local people, and addresses landscape as a material realm where there is constant interplay between localised practices and tourism dynamics. This perspective centres scientific conversations on the complex, yet mundane, experience of inhabiting tourist landscapes. Scholars should consider the impacts of tourism on living spaces as they contribute to the formation of language influencing planners and politicians.
