Abstract

In the 90's, many fields in China have been involved in postmodernism like economy, culture, Politics, arts, and social psychology. Experience is one of key traits in both postmodern society and tourism. Tourism experience, the bridge between daily life environments and tourist destinations, is exploration of life meanings and it reflects the most important essence in experience economy. This paper discusses tourism characteristics like non-difference, individual experience, contradiction, complexity and diversity in postmodern perspective. Then, it summarizes three aspects of travel experiences of postmodern society: (1) subjective experience is more important than tourism objects; (2) postmodern tourism proposes that travelling is the extension of daily lives, emphasizing relationship between travel experiences and daily lives; (3) postmodern tourism is an experience of "zero" distance, which can be duplicated.
