What are the basic characteristics of folkloric tourists

Folklore tourism refers to the cultural travel *** program in which people leave their usual place of residence and go to a foreign place to experience local folklore.

Folk culture as a region, a nation's long history and cultural development of the crystallization, contains an extremely rich social content, because of the local characteristics and folk characteristics of the development of tourism resources is the soul of the soul, with uniqueness and irreplaceability, so, in a sense, folk tourism belongs to a high level of tourism.

It can be summarized into six basic modes:

Aggregate style

It refers to the typical folklore scattered in a certain geographical range concentrated in a theme park to show, such as the Chinese Folklore Culture Village in Shenzhen and the Florida Fairview China in the United States, the Chinese Nationalities Park in Beijing concentrated in the expression of China's nationalities and folklore, the Nine Tribes Culture Village in Taiwan concentrated in the expression of the Gaoshan, Gelu and other tribes distributed in Taiwan, and the Chinese culture and culture in Taiwan. The Nine Races Cultural Village in Taiwan focuses on the folk culture of nine ethnic groups distributed in the vicinity of Taiwan, and the Yunnan Ethnic Cultural Village focuses on the folk culture of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan.

The advantage of this model is that it allows tourists to spend a short time and travel very little distance to enjoy the folk culture that would otherwise take a long time and travel a long distance to understand, but the disadvantage is that in the process of copying and processing will be lost in a lot of the original information content of the folk culture, and if the attitude of the construction of a lack of rigor, it may distort the folk culture.

Retro reproduction

It is the folk culture that has disappeared through the collection of information, organization, construction, reproduction, so that tourists can understand the past folk culture.

Such as the U.S. "living museum", the staff as hundreds of years to the U.S. "immigrants" and appeared, dressed in sixteen, seventeenth-century U.S. working people's clothing, to the tourists to perform the square stretcher to pick up the water, with primitive farming tools, with a unicycle transport and other ancient traditions. The festival attracts a large number of tourists from home and abroad by performing ancient traditional customs such as carrying water on square burdens, plowing with primitive farming tools, transporting with unicycles, and various folk dances.

Songcheng in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, Tangcheng in Wuxi, and Wu Culture Park also belong to this category.

The advantage of this model is that it can "turn back the clock" and satisfy the wishes of tourists that could not be realized, but there are also shortcomings with the collection of apples to apples **** the same.

In-situ condensed

Some minority villages or areas rich in unique folk culture due to the development of the times has been in the architecture, clothing, customs and other aspects of the dilution, no longer typical, or folk culture of some important activities (such as festivals, weddings) was originally presented in a particular period of time, so that the tourists can not fully appreciate the charm of the local folk culture, so the local **** or Investors in the local search for suitable locations to build local folk culture as the theme of the theme park, focusing on the presentation of the essence of its folklore, such as the Miaozhai in central Hainan and Lise style park are such, the advantage is to facilitate the tourists to fully understand the essence of the local or national folk culture, the disadvantage is that next to the authenticity of the "authenticity", so that the tourists naturally form the The disadvantage is that the "real" next to the authentic, so that tourists naturally form a contrast, some tourists can not constitute an attraction.

The above three forms can be grouped into a large category, namely, museums, characterized by a wealth of knowledge of folklore and culture, and their employees are specialized in the tourism industry.

Native natural

It is in a relatively rich folk culture in the region to choose a most typical, more convenient transportation village to the tourists to promote the natural life of the villagers and the village of the natural type of tourism content, in addition to the necessary infrastructure construction, almost no processing and transformation, such as Liannan, Guangdong, the three rows of Yaozhai, the Maori villages in Hawaii, and so on, and the advantage is that very little investment to allow visitors to the village. The advantage is that the investment is very little, so that tourists have a sense of reality, can naturally communicate with local residents, and even personally involved in the labor, there is a great degree of freedom of activity, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to tourism development brought about by the interests of the villagers fairly distributed to the villagers, the villagers of the normal production and life of the villagers is disturbed by the possible resistance or non-cooperation, it is difficult to ensure that the villagers in the reception of tourists to maintain the warmth, friendliness, and not only profit-oriented.

Theme Attachment

refers to the folk culture theme and a specific function of the tourism industry facilities combined to form a complementary effect, such as the famous garden in Suzhou, "net division" traditionally only open to the public during the day, so that visitors can appreciate the art of gardening in the south of the Yangtze River garden and the cultural connotation of the night is not open to the public, but recently, the net "division garden" is not open to the public. Net "Division Garden" launched a "classical night garden" activities, the use of the garden halls were expressed in one or two sections of the Suzhou commentary, Kunqu opera and other types of local folk culture and art, tourists can also appreciate the Suzhou gardens at night in the mood, very well received.

Short-term performance

The above five modes are long-term existence, tourists can always go to enjoy the form of tourism development.

But there are some specific folk culture only exists in a short time. The tourists are not only the ones who are interested in the culture, but also the ones who are interested in the culture of the world.

There are two main cases, one is out of the national folklore tradition of festivals, such as Inner Mongolia's Naadam Assembly, *** "Gulbang Festival", the Bai and Yi "Torch Festival", etc., its intention is not to develop tourism, so the Will not exist all year round, but during the festival will attract a large number of tourists; Secondly, the mobility of folk cultural performances, such as Guizhou, organized by the folk performance team to foreign performances Songtao Miao flower drums, Tantang opera, under the sea of fire, etc., showing the folk culture of Hong Kong Jie's artistic style, and each attracted a lot of foreigners to come to appreciate the long way to go (which itself is a travel *** for), and then attract tourists to Guizhou tourism.
