This letter is a rejoinder to Xiang, Fesenmaier, and Werthner (2020) who responded to our letter to the editor about knowledge creation in Information Technology and Tourism (ITT) research (Cai and McKenna 2020). We believe the authors have misinterpreted our claims and failed to address our main points in relation to the lack of theoretical and methodological development of ITT. Therefore, we address and clarify some misunderstandings in their response. We also elaborate on our ideas for broadening the paradigmatic boundaries of ITT research and opening up potential topics to tackle wider social issues. In addition, we provide more guidance for the growth and development of ITT through broadening boundaries, methodology and theorizing, as well as knowledge dissemination.

重新思考信息技术和旅游中的知识创造

这封信是对Xiang、Fesenmaier和Werthner（2020）的反驳，他们回复了我们给编辑的关于信息技术和旅游（ITT）研究中知识创造的信（Cai和McKenna 2020）。我们认为作者误解了我们的主张，未能解决我们与 ITT 缺乏理论和方法发展相关的主要观点。因此，我们解决并澄清他们回应中的一些误解。我们还详细阐述了我们的想法，以拓宽 ITT 研究的范式边界并开辟潜在主题以解决更广泛的社会问题。此外，我们通过拓宽边界、方法论和理论以及知识传播，为 ITT 的成长和发展提供更多指导。
