“…Nor was our study built on realist ontologies, assuming a finiteness of meaning in a data set, reflected in 'saturation' in analysis (cf. Ji et al, 2016). Rather, working in an interpretivist tradition, we focused on examining the qualities of the data to decide their appropriateness for exploring conceptual issues.…”

This study examines how food and drink-related practices mediate tourists' experiences in destinations. Adopting an interpretivist approach, and drawing on content analysis of travel blogs, the paper contributes to knowledge by demonstrating how the production and consumption of food and drink are used to negotiate feelings, memories and encounters in places. More specifically, we distinguish between three areas of practice: firstly, how situational control is established and articulated through familiarity with foods, but may also be challenged by exposure to disruptive consumption activities. Secondly, how sociability is performed and experienced, including through practices of 'Othering' that emerge through food and drink-centred encounters. Finally, how tourists construct new notions of home through eating and drinking routines. We argue that focusing on these areas helps to understand the intersections of food and drinkrelated practice and tourist experiences in and of place(s).

“…Recent research has also begun to focus specifically on the Chinese tourist market in Japan, with research predominantly drawing attention to the Chinese tourist experience. For example, Cheng, Wong, and Prideaux () explored the impact of Chinese popular nationalism (as a form of political travel constraint) on Chinese tourists' attitudes and travel intentions towards Japan, and Ji, Li, and Hsu () focused on Chinese tourists emotional experiences when traveling in Japan, exploring the role that historical political instability and differences play in the emotional experience. Kim, Prideaux, and Timothy () focus on the bilateral tourism flows between Japan and China and stress the effects that history, nationalism, occupation, sociocultural factors, and geopolitical factors have on the flow of tourists between these two countries.…”

The past 10 years has seen dramatic growth in international visitor numbers to Japan. Our research investigates Japanese host community perceptions of tourism development, specifically the impact that social distance has on these perceptions. Results from host residents (n = 1,569) confirmed significant differences in perceived social distance between visitor nationalities. Regression analyses reveal social distance to have a more significant influence on host perceptions towards tourism and its development than host attributes identified in earlier studies. Strategies and tactics for alleviating social distance are discussed, and implications are drawn for Japan's future development as a sustained successful tourism destination.

That is, we first identified the domain of the construct based on the literature (Crouch 2000;Crouch and Desforges 2003;Li 2000;Ji, Li, and Hsu 2016;Ji and King 2018;Edensor 2007).…”

Encountered Space and Situated Lay-Knowledge: A Mixed Methods Approach

This research draws on the geographical concept of situated lay-knowledge to highlight how the formation of tourists’ attitudes to travel destinations challenges the theoretical foundation of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). It suggests that situated lay knowledge is dynamic as opposed to static, which is the accepted basis of TPB, and subsequently, proposes a “Situated Lay-Knowledge Travel Behavior Model” (SLKTB). The model was tested in a mixed methods approach where Chinese tourists, who knew little about Portugal, encountered Portuguese culture and cuisine in Macau. The overall results demonstrate that the formation of tourists’ attitudes about travel destinations is not preexisting or static but dynamic and created from their ongoing encounters.
