Contents tourism: “a dynamic series of tourism experiences motivated by contents. Contents tourism is undertaken by tourists in order to access and embody “narrative worlds” that are continuously expanding through “contentsization”, and very often involves the participation of tourists/consumers themselves in the process of the (re)contentsization of the narrative world.” (Yamamura, forthcoming)
