过去 20 年旅游业的增长意味着越来越多的人开始在远离家乡的地方度假。然而，对度假空间的研究明显缺乏。本文以游轮为重点，主要目的是引起人们对团体度假环境中的社交互动如何与度假体验相交叉的关注。第二个目的是介绍空间以及它如何扩展对旅游空间在社会互动发展中所发挥的作用的思考。结果表明，人们使用游轮是为了让自己感到轻松、舒适，以及控制和解放。他们还在游轮期间发展社交互动，并在游轮上创造“有趣”的空间。利用这些主题，作者强调了当前旅游行为概念化的局限性。作者还建议邮轮公司如何利用这项研究来创造更有意义的乘客体验。
Growth in tourism during the past 20 years means more people are using physical spaces away from home for vacation. Yet research on vacation spaces is noticeably absent. Focusing on a cruise ship, the primary purpose of this article is to draw attention to how social interaction in a group vacation context intersects with vacation experiences. A secondary purpose is to introduce space and how it can extend thinking about the role that tourism spaces play in the development of social interaction. The results indicate that individuals use cruise ships to feel at ease and comfortable with themselves, as well as in control and liberated. They also develop social interactions during a cruise and make “playful” spaces on the cruise ship. Using these themes, the authors highlight limitations in current conceptualizations of tourism behavior. The authors also suggest how cruise lines might use the study to create more meaningful passenger experiences.
