  Based on the concept of localization, this paper analyzes the connotation, logic and practical dimensions of the localization of rural homestays. It combines the rural revitalization strategy with the analytic hierarchy process ( AHP) to construct the evaluation index system of rural homestay localization from five dimensions: local economic promotion, industrial development and sharing, local products and services, ecological environment maintenance, and community development participation. The results show that the synergy of internal resource endowment mainly drives the localization practice of rural homestays, external market demand and multisubject participation, and its development effect is highly consistent with the strategic goal of rural revitalization. The main body of rural B&B business is integrated into the rural space with the localization of economic interests, cultural themes, social relations and environmental features, presenting dynamic and complex characteristics. At the system level, the development and sharing of the homestay industry and local products and services play a leading role in the localized development of rural homestays, while the talent cultivation and scene authenticity at the criterion level account for the largest proportion, and the local cultural service level at the index level is in the forefront.

  Structural Characteristics of Tourist Flow Networks under Different Travel Durations: A Case Study of the Central Urban Area in Chongqing

  Tourism Research. 2025, 17(3): 30-43.

  To investigate the spatial behavioral manifestations of heterogeneity in tourists’ travel durations, this study selects the central urban area of Chongqing ( a popular tourist destination in China) as the research region. Utilizing social network analysis and GIS spatial analysis, we explore the structural characteristics of tourist flow networks under different travel durations. The results reveal that: Prolonged travel durations drive the outward expansion of tourist flows, enhancing the diversity of attraction selection in peripheral areas. Spatial tourist flows across all durations exhibit an exponential distance-decay effect, most pronounced in two-day trips, followed by oneday trips, and weakest in trips lasting three days or longer. Extended durations correlate with increasingly complex network structures, where network density, connectivity, and structural hole advantages increase correspondingly. Core attractions maintain strong-to-strong connections regardless of duration, while path multiplicity and diversified route combinations emerge with longer stays. A reinforced core-periphery structure emerges as durations extend, demonstrating limited spillover effects from core to peripheral areas. These findings provide theoretical support for optimizing spatiotemporal resource allocation in mountainous cities.

  The Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Tourist Emotion in Hiking Tourism Site: The Case of Wu Gong Mountain

  Tourism Research. 2025, 17(3): 44-56.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  As a kind of embodied practice, hiking is a popular way to generate personal and local emotional ties. However, the existing research still lacks attention to the emotional characteristics of hiking tourists, which is not conducive to destination managers understanding the emotional demands of tourists. Taking Wugong Mountain as a case, this paper discusses the emotional characteristics and influencing factors of hiking tourists by using emotional analysis and IPA analysis, combined with the comment text of the Ctrip website. The main conclusions are as follows: the emotional characteristics of hikers are “ strong-strong” and “ weak-weak”, with positive emotions as the main factor; the positive emotions of hikers are mainly influenced by natural scenery, public service facilities and surrounding traffic; the negative emotions of hikers are closely related to climate and temperature, environmental sanitation, consumption cost and the degree of congestion. In view of this, this paper further puts forward scientific and reasonable suggestions such as improving the service and management level of scenic spots, increasing the integration of cultural and sports tourism, and realizing the deep integration of people and situations.

  Research on the Impact Mechanism of Tourism Empowerment on Farmers' Role Identity: A Case Study of Xihe Village, Xinyang City, Henan Province

  Tourism Research. 2025, 17(3): 57-69.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  The development of rural tourism has transformed the role of farmers. Strengthening farmers' identification with their new roles constitutes a crucial link in promoting the in-depth development of rural tourism and serves as a powerful guarantee for achieving common prosperity. Taking farmers in rural tourism destinations as the research subject, this study constructs a theoretical model of tourism empowerment influencing farmers' role identity and proposes related hypotheses to explore the impact mechanisms of tourism empowerment on role identity. The research results indicate that economic empowerment, psychological empowerment, social empowerment, and community participation all exert significant positive effects on farmers' role identity. Economic empowerment, psychological empowerment, and political empowerment can indirectly influence farmers'role identity through community participation, with community participation playing a mediating role.

  The Impact of New Urbanization on the High-quality Development of Cultural and Tourism Integration: Analysis of the Mediating Effect of Infrastructure

  Tourism Research. 2025, 17(3): 70-82.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  With the deep integration of culture and tourism industries, new urbanization, as a people-centered national development strategy, is not only a key driving force to promote high-quality economic development, but also an important path to promote the high-quality development of cultural and tourism integration. Based on the Granger causality test, this paper reveals the two-way causal relationship between the new urbanization and the high-quality development of cultural and tourism integration. At the same time, the fixed effect model and the mediating effect model are used to verify the indirect impact of new urbanization on the high-quality development of cultural and tourism integration through infrastructure construction. The results show that new urbanization has a significant positive effect on the highquality development of cultural and tourism integration, and infrastructure construction plays a partial mediating role in this process. In addition, there is significant heterogeneity in the impact of new urbanization on the highquality development of cultural and tourism integration in various regions, among which the promotion effect on the western region is the most significant, while the impact on the central and eastern regions is relatively weak.

  A Review and Prospect of Camping Tourism Research from the Perspective of the Human-Land Relationship

  Tourism Research. 2025, 17(3): 83-98.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  Camping has developed from a means of survival in the early days of mankind into a leisure lifestyle, reflecting the human-land relationship centered on natural experience. Compared with the rapid development of camping tourism, although a certain number of research results have been formed at home and abroad, the theoretical research is still weak in general. Based on the theory of tourism systems, this paper constructs the theoretical analysis framework of camping tourism from the perspective of human-land relationship theory, and analyzes the existing achievements of camping tourism based on this framework system. The study found that camping tourism is closely related to nature, and outdoor leisure and temporary accommodation are its basic features. In camping tourism, the research on “ people” mainly includes the motivation for camping tourism, the influencing factors of camping tourism decisionmaking, and the functional effects of camping tourism on campers; the research on “ land” includes the development of camping industry, the planning and construction of camping tourism; the research on human-land interaction is mainly reflected in the environmental impact and management of camping tourism. Future research should continue to pay attention to the changes in campers' needs, strengthen the research on campers' operators and residents of camping tourism destinations, continue to carry out the research on the environmental impact and management of camping tourism, deepen the research on the industrial correlation and integration between camping tourism and destinations, and expand the research on the intermediary system and support system in the camping tourism system. At the same time, we should strengthen the transformation of the research paradigm of interdisciplinary integration.
