“…This aspect is undoubtedly attractive to consumers who share similar cultural values, desire such a lifestyle and are prepared to pay for this experience (So et al , 2022; Yan et al , 2021). Furthermore, this supports a point made by Lefebvre: “We have shifted from the production of things in space to the production of space itself” (Nilsson and Tesfahuney, 2019). It can be argued that this study is an important complement to existing studies to fully understand the construction of a home feeling in P2P accommodations.…”

“…With shifting mobility and post-Fordist trends, the understanding of home has changed. In previous tourism research, home has either been neglected or considered the antithesis of tourism (Nilsson and Tesfahuney, 2019). Tourism is a non-home experience, and the meaning of tourists can only be realised in tourism.…”

“…Tourism is a non-home experience, and the meaning of tourists can only be realised in tourism. As Nilsson and Tesfahuney (2019) note, home, the seemingly boring space of everyday life, is precisely the reason why tourism exists, reflecting the deep structural contradictions of modernity (Su, 2013). In the 21st century, the emergence of the concept of “home away from home” has, to a certain extent, resolved this contradiction in the trend towards mobility.…”

Purpose Airbnb attempts to stimulate consumer imagination and expectations of home through storytelling before their stay. The purpose of this study is to gain a holistic understanding of the psychological mechanisms by which brand storytelling can evoke consumer imagination of home away from home and their choice of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodations. Design/methodology/approach By collecting 864 valid questionnaires through two rounds of surveys with Chinese consumers, this study examined the structural relations between narrative elements in the brand story (home characteristics, social interactions in advertising, advertising features), brand perception, self-image congruence and consumption intentions. Findings The results demonstrate that home characteristics, social interactions in advertising, and advertising features positively influence people’s brand perceptions, self-image congruence and consumption intentions through mental imagery processing. Practical implications This study offers helpful implications on how to create a home feeling in P2P accommodations and provides recommendations to promote the connection between consumers and the brand for P2P accommodation providers and hoteliers. Originality/value This study reveals the underlying mechanism of how various narrative elements in brand stories inspire the imagination and feeling of home in consumers during the prestay phase. By analysing the impact of specific trust systems and emotional needs on the construction of a feeling of home, this study is an important complement to existing studies on the study of home in P2P accommodation.

“…A logic of particularity that always already is inherent to the discipline of tourism studies and permeate its world-view. The world as an oyster of extraordinary, distinguished, and exceptional touristic places for the (usually male) tourism scholar to explore and conquer (Ek & Larson, 2017), in stark contrast to the mundane and ordinary home (Nilsson & Tesfahuney, 2018). Tourism has been framed as the search for and the experience of the authentic other (so central to the discipline's core conceptual apparatus) and the spatiotemporal sublimity of mythic and extraordinary touristic places (nowadays increasingly transformed into alienating touristic enclave by a relentless market-based commodification machinery), or if you like, touristic spaces of exception.…”

“…We argue that the logic of the tourism enclave permeates much of what at face value is not considered enclavic tourism. Thus, it could and should be searched for elsewhere, particularly in places where it is least associated with or expected, as the privatized public library or in the uncanny home (Nilsson & Tesfahuney, 2018) and not only where it manifests itself empirically. That said, we do not claim that the world is literally filled with tourism enclaves, rather the logic of the enclave is much more complex and hence tourism enclaves need to be 'gazed anew'.…”

Research on tourism enclaves has relied mainly on topographical understandings of the phenomenon. The focus has been on the ontic, that which is or exists instead of the relational qualities or properties of tourism enclaves. Topographical conceptions thus tend to simplify enclavic processes and attributes that are much more complex than meets the eye. In this article, we make the case for topological understandings of tourism enclaves, based on a relational ontology, as a complement. We thereby strive to offer more nuanced conceptions of tourism enclaves. We depart from Agamben's political ontology to illustrate our claim. Seen topologically, tourism enclaves are not simply spaces marked-off from the norm, but rather constituents of the norm. Tourism enclaves need to be theorized as 'prototypes' or 'laboratories' of new subjectivities (ways of being, relating, and experiencing the world). The tourist thus emerges as a model figure of biopolitics in the contemporary, the norm rather than the exception. The tourist is not that which is abandoned by the sovereign in the manner of Agamben, but rather a free exilant, a subject that self-willingly chooses abandonment. We deploy topological concepts, like Agamben's the ban, the camp, and state of exception. Such a conception, we argue, widens the ontological register or horizon of tourism theory.

The Socio-Spatial Articulations of Tourism Studies in Nordic Geography

Socio-Spatial Theory in Nordic Geography

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter will focus on geographical contributions to tourism studies in Nordic scholarship. The chapter provides a thematised overview of the ways in which tourism dynamics and developments have been understood and researched by Nordic geographers. The themes are drawn from a bibliometric analysis and are arranged around the key geographical concepts of place, space and time. As such the chapter is not aspiring to provide a comprehensive listing of, or detailing all Nordic geographers who have addressed issues of tourism, nor exhaustively cover all topics, but to gauge the socio-spatial articulations of tourism studies in Nordic geography. Part one will look at how places are articulated as sites of tourism experiences, social relations and tourism industry dynamics in Nordic geography. Part two will look at how spatial flows and global ideas constitutive of tourism destinations are understood. Part three will focus on how Nordic tourism geography scholarship has developed through and on what looks to be promising future oriented studies therein. As such the chapter will contribute to the theorisations of geography and the development of socio-spatial theories within Nordic geography from a tourism studies perspective.
