Gameful Tale-Telling and Place-Making from Tourists' Generation to Generation: A Review

摘要

The ageing population and current changes in family structures have led to an increasing interest in forging strong relationships between different generations through leisure travel activities. Despite the popularity of digitally-mediated interventions in the tourism sector, there remains a lack of its use in uniting different generations through tale-telling, place-making and eliciting sustainability with a 'slow tourism' attitude. The aim of this paper is to review the potential use of game storytelling to foster family tourism and unite different generations while in a leisure-travel context. Twenty peer-reviewed papers published between 2000 and 2019 in English-language publications met inclusion criteria. The review presents the potential benefits and requirements for encouraging intergenerational interactions through game storytelling in a tourism setting.
