Abstract

Tourism and leisure experiences bring people together to socialize and form communities. This chapter conceptualizes member experiences within a particular interest or recreational community based on the neo-tribe theory. The neo-tribe theory is a sociological approach applied to analyzing postmodern communities. It has been applied in tourism and leisure with increasing frequency recently. In this chapter, tourist and/or participant experience is discussed within the framework of the neo-tribal approach. Neo-tribe members’ experiences are examined concerning their communicative, reflexive, emotional, and performative aspects. The chapter demonstrates the usefulness of the neo-tribe theory and its insights to tourism and leisure researchers, policymakers, and businesses.
