Formation Mechanism of Media Pilgrimage and Internet Celebrity Tourist Destinations:Based on the Grounded Theory Analysis of Zibo and Harbin
This paper uses the double case study and grounded theory method to construct exploratory theories in Zibo and Harbin,and finds that:first,as an old industrial city,Zibo has relatively scarce tourism resources and is relatively difficult to build a tourism brand.Second,Harbin is rich in tourism resources and has a certain foundation for tourism development,and the relevant local departments take the advantage of their resources,plan and prepare for warm-up in advance,which belongs to the"design type+spontaneous type"and becomes popular.Third,as the intersection of information dissemination,cultural expression and consumption trends,online celebrity tourism destinations will inevitably follow a"self-organizing"or"constructive"traffic leveraging model in the early stage of their popularity.However,with the emergence of tourist destinations and the continuous growth of tourist groups,the unilateral traffic leverage of tourists or destination participants in the initial stage is not enough to maintain the vitality of online celebrity tourism destinations.On the contrary,the key to the continuous popularity of tourist destinations is that tourists and destination participants jointly carry out"multi-directional and divergent"interactive communication in the media space.
