“…Nevertheless, multiple concepts and scope of TVC in the literature could lead to different directions in tourism research and practices, as each chain in a TVC is vital but is treated differently. For example, Zheng et al (2021) followed the concept of TVC that focuses more on the products, while Christian (2017) brought the concept of TVC that focuses more on the connection between suppliers and consumers. In another study, Fernández-Villarán et al (2020) studied TVC based on the tourist’s journey.…”

Purpose Tourism encompasses multiple activities along with actors, locations and roles involved. Thus, tourism development and planning should consider value-added activities that form a tourism value chain (TVC). In the literature, the conceptual and practical understanding of TVC is significantly diverse, making it challenging to comprehend the entire framework. This study aims to synthesize a general TVC framework. Design/methodology/approach This review uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol to search for and select relevant literature in two databases (Scopus® and Web of Science™). Covering six aspects (logic, scope, value, perspective, type and scale), this study systematically analyzes the selected empirical studies to synthesize a functional framework of TVC as the basis to explore insights for effective TVC practices. Findings The results show that existing empirical studies have adopted four types of logic (supply logic, destination logic, global value chain and tourism global value chain), which complement each other in explaining the entire concept of TVC. Besides, the TVC concept is applicable on various scales and in different types of tourism with slight practical differences. Furthermore, values appear in various forms and offer benefits for suppliers and consumers as primary actors in TVC. Findings for the six aspects form tourism value webs as the functional framework of TVC. Originality/value This study offers a wide-ranging review of various empirically implemented TVC concepts for comprehensive TVC-based tourism development and planning. This review sets a theoretical foundation for future studies to improve the body of knowledge of TVC and tourism development and planning in general.

“…Through value chain analysis, the dynamic flow of economic and organizational activities among actors of different industries can be easily uncovered by focusing on the inter-linkage. Most of the studies on tourism value chain are qualitative analyses of the governance model [ 5 , 17 ], the rural tourism value chain reconstruction [ 20 ], and the value co-creation model [ 21 ]. In addition, there are also a few scholars who quantitatively analyzed the impact of tourism value chain on tourism poverty alleviation [ 22 ], regional economic leakage [ 23 ], and tourism destination management [ 18 ].…”

China has been fully implementing the policy of the cultural and tourism industrial integration since 2018. However, the value-added benefits of this policy are not prominent, and the relationship between industrial integration and the value added to the tourism value chain was seldom addressed by researchers. In the context of China’s high-quality development, it is necessary to conduct the impact of the integration of cultural and tourism industries on the value added to tourism value chain. This paper proposed four theoretical hypotheses and the corresponding econometric models based on the panel data from 2013 to 2020 in China’s Jiangsu Province. According to empirical results, the integration of cultural and tourism industries is spatially unbalanced, with notable imbalances between the south and the north. This paper identified a new connection between cultural and tourism integration and the tourism value chain. It is found that the integration of cultural and tourism industries can enhance the value added to tourism value chain either directly or indirectly through the information technology, with the direct effect being positively moderated by tourism agglomeration. Moreover, this paper may overturn how people generally think about the integration between cultural and tourism industries. It reveals a single-threshold effect that only when the integration of cultural and tourism industries reached a high level will it exert a positive effect. To be more specific, not all Chinese cities are suitable for implementing cultural and tourism integration, because the integration is likely to be ineffective in regions where the cultural industry is substantially less developed than the tourism industry.

“…The construction of a metauniverse in parallel with the integration of rural landscapes has promoted the interaction between residents and tourists, knowledge transfer, and value creation, making the development of field construction schemes dominated by different themes an important choice for spatial production. Only by selecting tourism planning that is suitable for rural spaces, can we construct new fields that are suitable for value creation in these contexts (Zheng, Wang, Li, & Guo, 2021).…”

Value co-creation is an important driving force for rural spatial construction and agricultural transformation and improvement, as well as an important means of establishing sustainable livelihoods in rural areas. The spatial production based on the interaction between production processes and geographical space in sociological theory promotes the construction of physical, social, and cultural fields and enhances the innovation capacity of rural spatial production. This article takes Xiaozhou Village in Guangzhou as an example and uses observation to study the value co-creation process of different types of fields. Value co-creation is the driving force for promoting agricultural production, social activities, folk revitalization, homestay leisure, and other leisure experience activities in the physical, social, and cultural fields, and has become an important support for the sustainable livelihood of Xiaozhou Village. The digitization of the field helps to promote the diversification of rural physical, social, and cultural spaces, and opens a path for rural construction in the new era.
