The use of information and communication technology (ICT) devices has been recognised as a significant component of travel experiences. However, the portrayal of internet connectivity as a binary entity within literature has overlooked the significant experiential breadth that exists within the state of being connected. Drawing on the contexts of roaming and the digital divide, this article demonstrates the variable and dynamic nature of connectivity on a worldwide basis, thus highlighting the variety of states of connectivity which may be encountered by tourists. Research was conducted using an autoethnographic methodology employed during a 3-month period of multi-country fieldwork. As its research findings, the article first defines travel connectivity and presents a travel connectivity typology featuring four principal modes based on network quality and range. Second, impacts of each mode of connectivity upon the travel experience are discussed.

旅行连接

信息和通信技术（ICT）设备的使用已被认为是旅行体验的重要组成部分。但是，将互联网连接性描述为文学中的一个二元实体，却忽略了存在于连接状态中的重要体验广度。本文利用漫游和数字鸿沟的背景，在全球范围内演示了连通性的可变性和动态性，从而强调了游客可能遇到的各种连通性状态。研究是在三个月的多国野外工作期间使用的自动民族志方法进行的。作为研究结果，本文首先定义了旅行连通性，并提出了一种旅行连通性类型，该类型具有基于网络质量和范围的四种主要模式。其次，讨论了每种连接方式对旅行体验的影响。
