“…The concept of social tourism was first defined by Hunziker (1951, p. 1) who described social tourism as “the relationships and phenomena in the field of tourism resulting from participation in travel by economically weak or otherwise disadvantaged elements in society.” A number of scholars (Diekmann & McCabe, 2011; Hunziker, 1951; Lynn et al, 2011; Qiao et al, 2019) contend that tourism should be considered as a basic human right given its positive impacts on subjective well‐being. From this perspective, tourism can be described as a form of social care (Lynn et al, 2011) that aims to help those whose economic circumstances ordinarily preclude them from holidaying (Diekmann & McCabe, 2011).…”

“…Social tourism is an under‐researched topic in the context of China. One expectation is a study by Qiao et al (2019) that explored the positive impacts of social tourism on the subjective well‐being of children left behind by Chinese migrant rural workers working in urban areas. Qiao et al (2019) adopted a social tourism perspective that focused on the psychological and micro effects of tourism, finding that tourism could improve the subjective well‐being of left‐behind children, improve their physical and mental health and enhance harmony within family groups.…”

“…Past research has found the participation in tourism provides an effective pathway for improving personal well‐being (Uysal et al, 2016) and happiness (McCabe & Johnson, 2013; Qiao et al, 2019) through improving family relationships and acquiring new knowledge. Building on work by Diener and ChanM.…”

This research explores Chinese rural migrant workers' perceived value of tourism from a social tourism perspective. The findings are based on 20 semi-structured interviews and highlight the benefits that tourism can bring to Chinese rural migrant workers. Theoretically, the study led to the developed of a six-dimension life work social self-realization emotional epistemic scale that shows Chinese rural migrant workers' perceived value of tourism based on life value, work value, social value, selfrealization value, emotional value, and epistemic value. Practically, the research provides useful suggestions for government on policy development and opportunities for the design of tourism products for Chinese rural migrant workers. This study challenges the existing understanding of perceived value, which has highlighted tourism value from a macro perspective but neglected to look at perceived value on a micro or individual level.

“…More and more disabled and older people are also actively engaged in tourism and therefore the accessible tourism market is also increasing year by year. Tourism can improve the mood of participants (Qiao et al , 2019) and enhance life satisfaction (Hwang et al , 2020). It is also conducive to local economic development (Gondos, 2019) and the realization of social equity (McCabe, 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reveal the knowledge evolution process, research hotspots and future trends in the accessible tourism research literature from 2008 to 2020. Design/methodology/approach A total of 213 articles on accessible tourism were selected from the core collection database of Web of Science (WoS) and analyzed using CiteSpace. Findings Over the 13-year period between 2008 and 2020, an increasing number of studies have been published concerning accessible tourism, but the overall base is still small. The research content mainly includes six modules. Among institutions, the University of Technology Sydney has published the largest number of papers. Cooperation among countries involves the USA, the United Kingdom, Australia, Portugal and China. Tourism Management is the leading journal for disseminating research on accessible tourism. Definition of “Accessible tourism” and the different scope of this phenomenon are re-discussed. In recent years, “experience” and “participation” have become the “new favorites” in accessible tourism research, which could reveal insights into future research directions. Research limitations/implications The sampling frame was defined in terms of the WoS database and even though this is an important database for global academic information, in the big data era, the authors may have to integrate information from multiple sources to comprehensively reveal and understand knowledge maps. Second, because of the operational constraints of the CiteSpace software, the authors only selected outputs published in peer-reviewed journals, excluding other published works, such as books and conference papers. Finally, because of the language restrictions of the authors, this research is limited to journals published in the English language. Practical implications Practically, the results of this study made a conclusion of accessible tourism research so that the researchers can easily know what has currently been done and what future research can do. Tourism managers can also understand the demands and the constraints of tourism for the people who have barriers to travel. They can supply more specific products for the accessible tourism and further promote the construction of barrier-free travel environments. Originality/value This paper unifies the literature on senior tourism and people with disabilities tourism, and uses CiteSpace to construct data and network visualizations, including a burst and dynamic analysis for the period covered by the sample. Furthermore, this paper proposed a more diversified accessible tourism.
