Abstract

Although tourism is one of the most popular leisure activities in contemporary times, it is also regarded as one of the most typical alienated activities. However, few studies have extensively examined tourists' experiences of alienation. Informed by the General System Theory-based alienation model, this study endeavors to explore the subtypes and causes of alienated tourism experiences. Using critical realistic thematic analysis, a total of 939 online posts were analyzed, revealing 13 distinct subtypes of alienation forms, and identifying nine underlying causes. The study further proposes a framework for alienated travel experience. It demonstrates that tourism serves as both the origin of new forms of alienation and an extension of alienation from daily life.
