Biological genes rely on the arrangement and combination of base pairs to store genetic information. Similarly, landscape genes store cultural information through an ordered structure of genetic information and express the characteristics of the landscape according to a specific transmission path. Based on the perspective of genetics, this article summarizes six pieces of genetic information—dominance, inheritance, attribution, attachment, scale, and image—from the connotation of landscape genes and conducts a case study of the heredity of cultural factors and the expression of the image in Zhongtian Village. The results show that:(1) The stone walls of buildings, the half-moon-shaped water, and the distinctive form of the geographical layout are the landscape genes of Zhongtian Village; (2) The genetic information can be used to examine the recognition results of landscape genes and eliminate interference items in the identification process, which is valuable in science; (3) The storage and expression of genetic information in the landscape genes of Zhongtian Village are also revealed in this study, which facilitates the production of a new means for the identification, inheritance, and tourism utilization of landscape genes. The study posits that landscape gene theory can play an active role in heritage tourism image construction, rural tourism planning, and cultural tourism landscape restoration.

While spatial justice is a critical issue in socio-spatial research, it has not yet received sufficient attention in tourism studies. The phenomenon of unbalanced spatial development caused by mutual competition among various stakeholders in tourism destinations is widespread. As such, the mechanism of realizing spatial justice in tourism needs to be strengthened. This paper uses the Tibet Autonomous Region as a case study to analyze the causes and characteristics of spatial imbalance in tourism development from the perspective of spatial justice and explores the paths to realize spatial justice in tourism. Results showed that the government, tourist enterprises, and locals are the primary stakeholders in tourist spatial competition and negotiation. In the process of mutual consultation and balance of rights and interests, these three parties jointly develop and utilize the spatial resources of tourist sites. In order to protect the spatial rights and interests of vulnerable residents, various tourist stakeholders in Tibet Autonomous Region have taken multiple measures to increase residents’ participation in tourist space production and distribution of interests. With the possession of resources and the power of policy-making, the government and the tourist enterprises have a decisive influence on realizing the spatial justice of locals.

Local State Corporatism in the Tourism Development of the Ancient Town of Fenghuang: Logic and Consequences
PENG Dan, ZHANG Ziyan
Tourism and Hospitality Prospects, 2022, 6(2): 43-65.

Local state corporatism is a development strategy generated in a specific social environment. It aims to study the relationship between government and enterprises in local economic development and social structure evolution. Taking the ancient town of Fenghuang as an example, this paper analyzes the process of the operation, development, and management of destination tourism in ancient towns based on the theory of local state corporatism. Evidence has shown that the operation of local state corporatism in the development of tourist destinations involves three stakeholders: authority, capital, and society. These stakeholders participate in the tourism development of ancient towns with their respective roles and behavioral characteristics and, in so doing, present a game relationship of diversified interests. The authority force conspires with the capital force to promote the development of local tourism, but social forces have also played a role in influencing the formation mechanism and development direction of local state corporatism. However, this type of operating logic can cause defects in the model itself, which can easily lead to certain social consequences. Thus, the government must exert its powerful administrative force to intervene in and overcome these potential problems.

The objective of attending an exhibition is a topic of significant interest in the academic field. However, studies paying attention to how a business’s nature, scale, and distance from the exhibition affect the exhibition’s objectives are scarce. The present study investigated 768 exhibitors who participated in eight exhibitions in Chengdu and Chongqing. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and multi-factor multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used, and the results found that: (1) the objectives of exhibiting enterprises include 13 indicators in four categories: relationship building, image building and maintenance, interactive learning and social network construction, and sales; (2) domestic enterprises attach importance to the four types of exhibition purposes in the following order: sales, image building and maintenance, relationship building, interactive learning, and social network construction; meanwhile, among the 13 indicators, “getting acquainted with new customers, establishing and maintaining enterprise image, and exploring new markets” are the three most important exhibition objectives of enterprises; (3) The nature, scale, and distance of the exhibitors’ enterprise significantly affect the objectives of exhibiting, with agents, micro-enterprise exhibitors, and medium-distance exhibitors focusing on “sales” as the main objective of exhibiting, while manufacturers attach the most importance to “image building and maintenance” as the objective of exhibiting. Agents and service providers are more concerned with “interactive learning and social networking construction,” while close exhibitors are most concerned with “relationship building.” Finally, we propose suggestions for exhibitors and organizers to improve the effectiveness and benefits of exhibitions, respectively.

The integration of culture and tourism continues to improve museums’ popularity among tourists. Tourists’ needs for their tourism experience and the particularity of the museum as an indoor cultural leisure space has prompted museums to apply modern network technology to build a WeChat interpretation service system. This paper obtains data through a questionnaire survey, taking Nanjing Museum as an example. The study applies leisure restriction theory combined with the museum tourism environment and tourists’ behavioral characteristics and constructs a visitor use intention Model of the WeChat Interpretation System using the four dimensions of “attitude,” “behavior condition,” “interpersonal relationship,” and “structure.” We analyze the characteristics and restriction mechanism of tourists’ willingness to use the museum’s WeChat interpretation system. The results show that: (1) “attitude” and “interpersonal relationship” both have a positive impact on the tourists’ use intention, while “behavior condition” and “structure” have no significant effect on the use intention of the WeChat interpretation system; (2) The interaction of each dimension is as follows: “attitude” and “behavior condition” have a positive impact on “interpersonal relationship,” “attitude” positively affects “structure,” and “interpersonal relationship” and “behavior condition” have a positive impact on “structure.”
