Abstract
School field trips, which primary and secondary schools organise for students, are an integral part of educational tourism. Scholars have examined these types of trips over the past decades. However, there is a gap in fully exploring various aspects of children's educational experiences from their perspectives, particularly the sensory experiences that play a crucial role in shaping children's unique perspectives. To explore children's perspectives on these trips, semi-structured and photo-elicitation interviews are conducted with 41 primary school children in China. The interview content is analysed thematically using NVivo software. We then develop an integrative framework of children's experiences on school field trips based on sensory marketing theory. Our research extends this theory and contributes to a deeper understanding of children's tourism experiences. Additionally, this study offers valuable insights into the management of school-based educational tourism.
