Abstract

ABSTRACT The guidelines on heritage management adopted by the 2018 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting provide the most recent iteration for an Antarctic tourism sector which had, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, been projected to increase further with various risks and potential impacts requiring careful management. In this paper the role of cultural heritage for tourism prior to the COVID-19 pandemic is examined through three empirical perspectives. First, how the Antarctic cultural heritage is represented through the designation of Historic Sites and Monuments and Site Guidelines for Visitors; then how this is presented through tourism operators’ websites; and, finally, how it is experienced by visitors as narrated in open-source social media information. Each dataset suggests that, while cultural heritage is an important component of an increasingly commodified tourist offering, it is only part of an assemblage of elements which combine to create a subliminal and largely intangible Antarctic experience. In particular, a polarization of the heritage experience between cultural and natural does not appear productive. The paper proposes a more nuanced understanding of heritage tourism in Antarctica which accommodates the notion of a hybrid experience that integrates cultural heritage, the history and stories this heritage represents, and the natural environmental setting.

南极洲的旅游和遗产:探索文化、自然和潜意识的体验
2018年南极条约协商会议通过的遗产管理指南为南极旅游业提供了最新的规划。在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前,南极旅游业预计将进一步增加,各种风险和潜在影响需要谨慎管理。本文通过三个实证视角考察了新冠肺炎大流行前文化遗产对旅游的作用。首先,如何通过指定历史遗迹和纪念碑以及游客指南来体现南极文化遗产;那么这是如何通过旅游运营商的网站呈现出来的;最后,在开源的社交媒体信息中,游客是如何体验的。每个数据集都表明,虽然文化遗产是日益商品化的旅游产品的重要组成部分,但它只是众多元素的一部分,这些元素结合在一起,创造了一种潜意识的、基本上是无形的南极体验。特别是,文化和自然之间的遗产经验的两极分化似乎没有成效。这篇论文提出了对南极遗产旅游更细致入微的理解,它包含了将文化遗产、遗产所代表的历史和故事以及自然环境结合在一起的混合体验的概念。

期刊介绍: Polar Geographyis a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions. The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions.
