For the rural idyll: Tourism, place promotion and rural consumption
Place promotion plays an important role in enhancing the attractiveness and competitiveness of a place. The existing studies, however, have focused on the field of urban areas and small towns, and relatively little attention has been paid to the rural areas, especially in promoting the rural nature rather than the historical and cultural heritage. In addition, limited scholarship has investigated the evaluation of place promotion, increasingly making a call to examine the circuit of production and consumption of place image in the actions of place promotion. Taking Xixinan village in Huangshan city, China as a case study, this paper thus comprehensively uses qualitative methods to analyze the construction and communication of place image in such a rural tourism destination, as well as tourists' perception, consumption and feedback of the projected place image. It is found that the local government, centered on the natural landscape of the maple poplar forest, takes advantage of the local ecological environment to construct the image of the 'Wizard of Oz' and actively promote it, marketing it as a romantic place myth. Essentially, the place image of 'The Wizard of Oz' is a version of rural idyll, in which such seductive place promotion caters to people's escape from urban modernity, as well as nostalgia for the countryside. Through the analysis of embodied consumption, it is further found that tourists' consumption behavior and feelings are in line with the setting of rural idyll constructed by the local government, and they show corresponding nuanced characteristics in physical sense, cognition and emotion. Meanwhile, it is also argued that it is not limited to the scope of the previous discourse of place promotion. Tourists' embodied experience reveals their positivity and agency, making sense in the construction of their subjective meaning and the consumption of place. Under the premise of successful place promotion, tourists' rural consumption behavior is able to be fed back to the next round of tourism production, further shaping the rurality of the 'Wizard of Oz' in Xixinan village. By doing so, the consumption of tourists reinforces the representation of the previously established tourist landscape discourse. This paper contributes to the academic debate of 'clarifying the conceptual confusion between place promotion and place marketing and advancing relevant empirical research'. Further, it advances the empirical research agenda of 'circuits of tourism' proposed by Irena Ateljevic by placing the geographical process of this framework in a rural context, and discussing the production and consumption of tourism on the rurality. In practice, this paper provides planning guidance for rural tourism marketing and tourism experience creation.

数字经济时代,以传统自然和人文资源为依托的旅游业发展模式已经不能有效地满足旅游者多元化和个性化的需求,数字平台中一些非传统旅游资源吸引了大量注意力资本并转换成旅游流,极大地拓展了旅游资源的内容和边界。流量经济应运而生,既深刻影响了旅游业的发展模式,也对旅游资源开发的理论与实践提出了新的挑战。访谈表明:流量经济的形成并非偶然现象,流量传播虽然引致注意力资本规模的扩张从而带动旅游发展,但旅游业发展的核心还在于旅游资源禀赋、旅游服务质量、政府的支持与保障等;流量经济驱动旅游供给和需求要素的重新组合、集聚和扩散,快速地迎合了旅游者个性化需求,而旅游地能否随着旅游需求变化调整服务供给能力就成为流量经济促进旅游业发展的关键路径和机制;推动流量经济赋能旅游地高质量发展,需要有效市场和有为政府相结合,建立旅游地品牌,并可充分利用流量经济的空间效应,推动区域旅游协作发展。流量经济引爆旅游热潮后,也需要冷静思考短期热点与长期投入之间的资源错配、环境负面效应、文化冲突与矛盾等问题,走出一条“长红”路径。
