Because It's There:A Complex Deconstruction of the Effects of the Mountain Explorer's Drive and Its Intention to Explore
The modern mountain adventure,defined as a classic form of special tourism or adventure tourism,has garnered attention from tourism scholars in related fields.The unravelling of the nuanced relationship between tourists'intrinsic drives and their intentions to embark on adventurous behavior has emerged as a focal point of academic exploration.It has become increasingly evident that conventional linear models are ill-equipped to fully encapsulate the depth and complexity of this interplay.In order to delve deeper into the intricacies of this relationship,this study selects the Siguniang Mountain scenic area as a representative case study.Utilizing factor analysis,this research identifies four fundamental sources of the intrinsic drive prevalent among mountain adventurers:the flow experience,spiritual pilgrimage,sense of achievement,and sense of mission.In addition to an in-depth exploration of the intrinsic drive,this study comprehensively integrates various variables that make up the tapestry of adventurers'experiences and social support,and it includes a detailed analysis of adventurers'demographic characteristics.Drawing on the guiding principles of complexity theory and leveraging the wealth of insights from the existing research,a sophisticated configuration relationship model has been meticulously crafted,with the intrinsic drive firmly entrenched as its central axis.The primary mission of this model is to shed light on the multifaceted and intricately woven influence of the intrinsic drive on the intentions related to engagement in adventurous activities.The results of this research underscore a critical observation:The findings indicate that in the individual antecedent conditions,the flow experience,spiritual pilgrimage,and exploration results are the necessary conditions for the formation of the exploration behavior intention.However,each of these antecedent conditions alone is not sufficient for the formation of the exploration behavior intention.They must be combined to bring about the intention.Therefore,we looked further and obtained 20 kinds of combinations of antecedent conditions that were sufficient for the formation of the exploration behavior intention.This underscores the diversity,intricacy,and multifaceted nature of the formation of high-level adventure intentions.This study,as a whole,has a twofold significance.Firstly,it aims to significantly enhance our theoretical understanding of the intricate and asymmetric causal connection between intrinsic drives and the intentions guiding behavior.Secondly,it endeavors to provide a reservoir of valuable insights and knowledge that can be employed by pertinent regulatory bodies and authorities.This knowledge,based on empirical research and a data-driven analysis,serves as a critical foundation on which effective guidelines tailored to the unique dynamics of mountain adventure tourism can be based.
