16. The Cycling Tourism Tribe

Abstract

Cycling has a 200-year long history with ups and downs but since more than a decade it is experiencing exceptional growth arguably because it gained in importance as a means for identity construction, bonding and signalling of social status. Some maintain that cycling has occupied the role of golf, others see the recent boom rooted in middle-aged body image crises. Whatever the root causes may be, cycling has become strongly embedded in a web of values and meanings up to the point of representing a lifestyle. This evolution affects cycling tourism as well, whose actors have realised growing numbers but have often been struggling to fully understand symbols and values of the cyclist tribe. This chapters adopts a perspective rooted in consumer sociology and explores commonalities in the cycling tourism tribe to differentiate it subsequently into its sub-tribes. While differentiation has indeed flourished, we concentrate on the three main segments of road cyclists, mountain bikers and trekking cyclists and eclectically unveil some of their status symbols, communication mechanisms and group dynamics.

Abstract

Under the title ‘Consumer tribes in tourism: Contemporary perspectives on special interest tourism’ this book adopts a collective approach to special interest tourism consumption. It brings together research on ‘special interest tourism’, framed primarily as a demand concept, which is experiential in nature and driven by a special interest, and ‘niche tourism’, offering a supply perspective, with more recent research into the interdisciplinary applications of the sociological concept of ‘neo-tribes’.

Subjects
Cultural perspective, Social processes, Perspective (graphical), Sociology, Economic geography, Consumption (sociology), Special Interest Group, Tourism, Unit of analysis
Abstract

This chapter discusses benefits of adopting a sociological angle to better understand social processes and structures that underpin tourism consumption. It more specifically argues that the study of special interest tourism can benefit from a perspective that embraces collectives as units of analysis. The chapter concludes by suggesting advantages of examining special interest tourism from the perspective of consumer tribes or neo-tribes.
