ABSTRACT

A growing number of individuals in contemporary society follow a plant-based diet due to discourse and debates around the environmental impacts, the treatment of animals and health-related issues associated with animal agriculture. At the same time, food is regarded as a gateway to experience authentic elements of local cultures, traditions and heritage. This raises questions about the influence that plant-based diets that strictly exclude all forms of produce derived from animals exerts on the tourist’s destination image development process. Current studies on destination image argue that these images can be framed from the cognitive (knowledge), affective (emotional) and conative (behavioural) perspectives. Hence, this research aims to understand how following a plant-based diet for environmental, ethical and health reasons influences tourists’ destination images from the cognitive, affective and conative dimensions. To this end, a qualitative social constructivist approach was adopted and 20 semi-structured interviews with tourists who follow strict plant-based diets were conducted using a combination of a simple random sample and a snowball sampling approach. Findings indicate that these diets stimulate destination images of social belonging (affective), images off-the-beaten-track (conative), images of cosmopolitanism (cognitive) and images of emotional solidarity (conative) rooted in these tourists’ personal normative beliefs.

植物性饮食和目的地形象:一种整体方法

摘要

由于围绕环境影响、动物治疗和与畜牧业相关的健康相关问题的讨论和辩论,当代社会越来越多的人遵循植物性饮食。同时,食物被视为体验当地文化、传统和遗产的真实元素的门户。这就提出了一个问题,即严格排除所有形式的动物产品的植物性饮食对游客的目的地形象发展过程的影响。目前关于目的地形象的研究认为,这些形象可以从认知(知识)、情感(情感)和意象(行为)的角度来构建。因此,本研究旨在了解如何遵循植物性饮食以保护环境,伦理和健康原因从认知、情感和意象三个维度影响游客的目的地形象。为此,采用了一种定性的社会建构主义方法,并结合使用简单随机样本和滚雪球抽样方法,对遵循严格植物性饮食的游客进行了 20 次半结构化访谈。调查结果表明,这些饮食刺激了目的地形象的社会归属感(情感)、人迹罕至的形象(意念)、世界主义意象(认知)和情感团结意象(意念),这些意象植根于这些游客的个人规范信念。采用了一种定性的社会建构主义方法,并结合使用简单随机样本和滚雪球抽样方法对遵循严格植物性饮食的游客进行了 20 次半结构化访谈。调查结果表明,这些饮食刺激了目的地形象的社会归属感(情感)、人迹罕至的形象(意念)、世界主义意象(认知)和情感团结意象(意念),这些意象植根于这些游客的个人规范信念。采用了一种定性的社会建构主义方法,并结合使用简单随机样本和滚雪球抽样方法对遵循严格植物性饮食的游客进行了 20 次半结构化访谈。调查结果表明,这些饮食刺激了目的地形象的社会归属感(情感)、人迹罕至的形象(意念)、世界主义意象(认知)和情感团结意象(意念),这些意象植根于这些游客的个人规范信念。
