“…They may play a significant role in the acceptance of planned spatial transformations as well as in the choice of specific design proposals. Little is known about the potential effects of narrative interventions (however, see Sternberg, 1997 for the impact of narratives on the experiential qualities of tourist destinations).…”

“…However, shopping as a leisure activity extended these conventional business practices of border economies to the domain of the rapidly increasing experience economy [28] [29], with shopping becoming the main objective of the overall travel experience. Apart from the growing segment of travelers wishing to obtain cheap products abroad there now is also an increasing number of people who desire to experience luxury.…”

This paper uses quantile regression to investigate the travel mode and the shopping expenditures of over 7000 Chinese and Japanese tourists interviewed as part of the 2012-2013 Annual Survey Report on Visitor Expenditures and Trends in Taiwan. Results show that most Chinese tourists prefer to travel in group package tours, whereas most Japanese tourists prefer to travel independently. Both Chinese and Japanese tourists traveling in package tours purchase considerably more than individual travelers. Chinese visitors with high disposable income who travel in group tours had the highest shopping expenditures. Travelers over 40, those with college education or with higher income, and females had higher shopping expenditures than tourists in other demographics. Consequently, promotional marketing campaigns focusing on these travel segments could lead to significant increases in consumption and thus benefit Taiwan's tourism industry and economy.

“…It is perhaps for this reason that scholars appear to associate the EE most readily with the tourism industries (Baernoldt et al, 2004) where people pay to experience somewhere or something different that will leave them transformed through rest, adventure or education (eg see Powell et al, 2011 for a discussion of transformative effects of the Antarctic tourism experience). Tourism has frequently been cited as an experiential endeavour, even before conception of the EE model (eg Ryan, 1991;Wang, 1999;Sternberg, 1997). A "performance turn" in tourism studies has rejected the passiveness of the "tourist gaze" and emphasises the embodiment of the tourist experience, its multisensory and collaborative nature (Urry, 1990;Larson and Urry, 2011;Coleman and Crang, 2004;Sundbo and Darmer [eds], 2008).…”

ABSTRACT:In a world of increasingly undifferentiated goods and services experiences are said to be the next source of value-adding economic opportunity. Experiences differ from all other economic offerings by being inherently embodied and personalised and the experiences that can attach the most value will be those that are the most engaging and transformative. The experiential and transformational nature of tourism, and particularly island tourism, leads it to be a potential growth sector within an Experience Economy. This article explores how islanders within the Outer Hebrides of Scotland are (co-)creating engaging experiences through music performances in the form of festivals, ceilidhs, and bar sessions to increase tourism spend. This bottom-up approach to socio-economic development is novel in this context as musical performances in the Outer Hebrides have long been tied to the Gaelic language and culture. However, until recently they have not been considered a consumable economic offering. This article explores how using the lens of the Experience Economy offers new insights for islanders to generate tourism spend on their own terms.
