摘要：

Overseas Chinese represent a large proportion of the inbound tourism market to China. Many of these travellers experience China through the context of all-inclusive package tours. In this presentation, Dr Ying Wang presents insights from a program of research focusing on overseas Chinese travellers’ tour experiences. Informed by social constructivist ideologies, the research adopted a qualitative approach whereby data were collected primarily using participant observations and personal reflections, supplemented with analyses of travel blogs. The research provides insights into overseas Chinese travellers’ negotiation of their experience with other stakeholders (e.g., service providers and other tourists), the power tactics these tourists adopt, and the role of cultural background and value (i.e., cultural connectedness and Face) in shaping their experiences.
