尽管可持续发展讨论在北半球国家很盛行，但对于大多数人来说，可持续发展的抽象问题往往与旅行选择的现实相比不太显着。研究可持续旅游业的研究人员认识到，任何导致可持续绩效的变化都可能是日常高度常规化的社会实践、关系和社会技术结构发生变化的结果。本文针对这些争论，通过英国觅食旅游业的兴起探讨了社会实践、可持续性和旅游业之间的关系。本文利用采访和媒体分析中的证据，详细介绍了觅食课程领导者和参与者的观点，并结合参与者的观察，记录了在商业环境中协商和完成觅食体验的方式，以及参与者在经历后如何处理想法和实践。通过参与围绕可持续旅游含义的辩论，本文通过将觅食旅游确定为重新思考日常实践和话语的促进者来扩展对这些概念的理解。本文最后评估了旅游业在促进可持续绩效和话语方面的潜力。
Despite the prevalence of sustainability discourses across the Global North, for the majority of people abstract issues of sustainability often have a low salience with the realities of travel choices. Researchers examining sustainable tourism recognise that any changes resulting in sustainable performance are likely to come about as a result of shifts in everyday highly routinised social practices, relations and socio-technical structures. Attending to these debates, this paper examines relations between social practice, sustainability and tourism through the rise in foraging tourism in the United Kingdom. Using evidence from interviews and media analysis detailing perspectives of foraging course leaders and attendees, alongside participant observation, the paper records the ways in which foraging experiences are negotiated and accomplished in commercial contexts and what participants do with the ideas and practices post-experience. By engaging with debates surrounding the meanings of sustainable tourism, the paper extends understanding of these concepts through the identification of foraging tourism as a facilitator in rethinking everyday practice and discourse. The paper ends by evaluating the potentials of tourism in facilitating sustainable performance and discourse.
