Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research investigated social interactions among tourists, between tourists and residents, and between tourists and service providers and the role these types of interaction play in the overall visitor experience. During the first stage of the research project, we collected qualitative data from domestic and international tourists in Japan. Analysis of qualitative interview data with Chinese tourists visiting Japan revealed a) three types of social interaction: protocol-oriented, help-related, and sociable interaction (Han, Praet and Wang, 2019); b) positive (value co-creation) and negative (value co-destruction) aspects of direct and indirect interactions with other Chinese tourists (Praet & Han, 2020; Han, Praet and Wang, 2021a); c) positive, neutral, and negative aspects of direct and indirect interactions with service providers, residents and other tourists (Han, Praet and Wang, 2021b).
