摘要
经济地理学是一门非常活跃和发展演化很快的学科。近30年来,经济地理学的发展演化带动了旅游发展理论的演变。回顾旅游发展理论研究的进展,依次有依附理论、生命周期理论、社区研究方法、福特主义、弹性专业化和全球商品链理论,这些理论在旅游方面的应用和研究,从时间和数量上都明显滞后于生产实践活动,说明旅游研究还处于经济地理学科"边缘化"的地位。在今天经济全球化的背景下,旅游产业在迅猛发展之时,旅游发展理论的建设更应与经济地理学紧密结合,由"边缘"走向"核心"。
In this paper, we review attempts to theorize processes of the tourism industry economic development. We take the reader on a brief trip through the theoretical terrain of the past three decades and conclude with a discussion of the ＇ new＇ economic geography of tourism. We emphasize the need to develop a more rigorous understanding of the evolving tourism industry and how it influences processes of local economic development. Follow- ing a review of the major theoretical frameworks such as dependency theory , the life-cycle model, the community approach, the flexibld specialization approach, the global/local framework and global commodity chain theory, which have been applied to help us understand these processes. We highlight the ways in which current attempts to understand the links between tourism and economic development are embracing the complexity of the industry and its influences on everyday lives. We advocate ＇ new＇ ways of seeing and studying the economics of tourism geography. We argue that it is essential if we are to unpack the ＇ glocal＇ nature of tourism development processes.
