Just as the senses are core tools in a human body’s ability to collect information, the tourist sensory experience plays an integral part of the tourist experience. The tourist sensory experience is formed by receiving stimuli from sensory organs and translating it into vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Although research on tourist sensory experiences has made some progress, there remains a lack of systematic discussion and outlook on this topic. So as to define the relevant concepts relating to a tourist’s sensory experience, this study systematically reviews the prevailing body of research in reference to the situation, content, and mechanism behind tourist sensory experiences. This study then proposes future research themes, including the refinement of the concept and measurement content, the exploration of the intrinsic formation mechanism of the tourist sensory experience, and the enrichment of sensory experiences of different tourism phases, multiple destinations, and differentiated tourist types, with the aim of enriching and enhancing the depth and breadth of the research on tourist sensory experiences.

With the rapid development of cultural and tourism performing arts and tourists’ pursuit of tourism experience, the tourism experience of performing arts tourism field has attracted more and more attention from the academic and industrial circles. Based on the perspective of embodied theory, this study explores the connotation and dimension of tri-dimensional experience in See Again series tourism resorts through the network text data. We draws the following basic conclusions: (1) From the perspective of embodiment in See Again series tourism field, tourist experience is identified and explored from three stages:physical environment experience, situational experience and artistic conception experience. We put forward the theoretical framework of the tri-dimensional tourism experience. Physical environment experience pays attention to the external shape,situation experience emphasizes spatial narration and artistic conception experience focuses on inner feeling and spiritual feeling. Finally, tourists form the spiritual resonance and the emotion consensus, realizing their pursuit of true nature in the combination of external image and internal emotion of tourism field. (2) The physical environment experience is analyzed in detail from the five sensory organs of vision,hearing,touch,smell and taste. The situation experience and artistic conception experience are elaborated by referring to the original text of tourists, and the specific content of tourists’ tri-dimensional experience is explored. The above research conclusions are of significant value to the planning and development of cultural tourism performing arts and the deep exploration of tourism experience.
