This study aims to position the role of the Kartarpur corridor, a unique collaborative visa-free setting situated on the international border between Pakistan and India, as an interactional performative platform between tourists from both of the countries within the theoretical streams of tourism-peace studies. Classical grounded theory approach was considered that involved interviews from Pakistani and Indian tourists and service personnel in the Kartarpur setting. The findings add to the discursive discourses on the relevance of the contact-hypothesis in the debate surrounding the tourism-peace nexus within the novel setting of Kartarpur. Further, it evidences the evolving role of geo-political discourses in tourist encounters and signifies the relevance of memory-heritagization in relation to reconciliation tourism. It steers the debate towards relatively underutilized discourse of tourist identity as a pivotal tenet in the tourism-peace connection. The findings offer implications for the policy makers, practitioners and destination marketing organizations of divided nations.

这项研究旨在将Kartarpur走廊作为巴基斯坦和印度之间国际边界上的独特免签证合作场所的角色定位，作为旅游和平研究理论流中两国游客之间的互动表演平台。有人认为经典的扎根理论方法涉及来自Kartarpur环境中的巴基斯坦和印度游客及服务人员的采访。这些发现增加了关于接触假说的相关性的话语性论述，涉及有关卡塔尔布尔新颖环境中旅游与和平关系的辩论。此外，它证明了地缘政治话语在游客遭遇中的不断发展的作用，并表明记忆和遗产化与和解旅游的相关性。它引导辩论转向相对较少利用的游客身份论述，将其作为旅游与和平联系中的关键宗旨。这些发现为不同国家的政策制定者，从业人员和目的地营销组织提供了启示。
