Research on Tourism Art Geography:Connotation,Framework and New Direction
Art not only has innovative value in the development of the tourism industry,but also is the object of tourists'experience and the tool for the destination to construct a place.The issue of tourism art geography caused by this has generated a huge theoretical demand,which urgently needs academic exploration.This paper first clarifies the research of art geography in the broad and narrow sense,analyzes its view of time and space,and puts forward the phenomenon of art geography in tourism research and practice.Then it explains the logical relationship among tourism,art,and geography,analyzes the connotation of tourism art geography,and constructs a thematic framework that includes art tourism,tourism art,and the local production driven by the combination of art and tourism.Under this framework,the research discriminates the differences and connections between art tourism(tourism activities for the purpose of artistic experience)and tourism art(artistic tourism behavior and its derivatives),and clarifies three types under the framework of tourism art,including the geographical activity phenomenon caused by tourism as an artistic behavior,the ritual art caused by tourism as a geographical and cultural phenomenon,and tourism map art as a research tool.It also expounds on the place production which is promoted by the combination of art and tourism.In the end,the research points out the new trends of tourism art geography research,including the creative development of the tourism industry based on local art,local revitalization driven by tourism and its art forms,and the digital space and tools of tourism art.At the theoretical level,on the one hand,the paper introduces an innovative and systematic art geography framework for tourism research;on the other hand,it provides an important theoretical composition from the tourism field for art geography research.At the practical level,the article takes art as the entrance,providing references for the destinations to create individual experiences,innovate tourism development mode,and promote local production.
