Cultural Representations and Experience in Tourism: Two Forms of Mimesis
Hunter, William Cannon Smart Tourism Research Center 2021 Journal of smart tourism Vol.1 No.1
This paper fills a gap in smart tourism research by investigating the link between online representations and their physical counterparts. This sort of phenomenology visualizes a doubled cultural mimesis that can be described by the story of the ship of Theseus, where the original is replaced by an ongoing process of installing new components. In this sense, social reality is conceptualized as having real cultural events and the production of cultural items as well as having digital reproductions that appear and circulate online. These are accessed by a variety of platforms where reality is simulated onsite through augmented reality technology or remotely through forms of virtual reality. This paper seeks to frame and to present this notion and its potential impacts on destination culture particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea.
Constructivist Research in Smart Tourism
Hunter, William Cannon,Chung, Namho,Gretzel, Ulrike,Koo, Chulmo The Korea Society of Management Information System 2015 Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems Vol.25 No.1
Smart tourism is a social phenomenon arising from the convergence of information technology with the tourism experience. New ways of doing business, new patterns of experience and new problems concerning tourism destination image management and marketing are emerging due to the ubiquitous presence and influence of the internet and mobile devices. New conceptual tools are also available to enable researchers to further understand the social implications as well as the practical implementation of these new virtual and augmented smart tourism ecosystems. To this effect this paper introduces the constructivist paradigm and associated research methodologies as another toolbox for interpreting how smart tourism works as a form of soft power. The implications revealed by constructivism are that through smart tourism ecosystems, destination commodification and commoditization, experience and image formation are increasingly self-perpetuating, autonomous and organic social constructions. Researchers in information technology can use constructivist research to further explore these dynamic developments in smart tourism.
Medical Tourism : A New Global Niche
William Cannon Hunter 한국관광학회 2007 International Journal of Tourism Sciences Vol.7 No.1
Medical tourism is a new global niche market. This market has a significant economic scope, but little research exists regarding the actual effects that medical tourism has on a destination. This paper provides a survey of the history, economic scope and traveler motivations associated with medical tourism. In addition, a discursive analysis explores the implications for the larger medical industry and tourism industry of a destination. A grounded theory is provided that can serve as a foundation for future research, and directions for this research, in collaboration with managers and policy makers are suggested.
