Abstract

The integration of culture and tourism has been a topic of common concern among various cultural and tourism organizations and institutions both at home and abroad in recent years. Under the background of the general trend of the integration of culture and tourism in public libraries both domestically and internationally, a thorough exploration of the advanced experience of the integration of culture and tourism in foreign public libraries can serve as a reference and source of inspiration for the deep integration of domestic libraries and the tourism industry. Accordingly, by adoption of thematic framework analysis method and based on the theory of six components in tourism, through a thematic analysis of 23 sets of text materials on the integration of foreign public libraries and the six components in tourism, a three-level integration theme is proposed in this paper, namely the overall theme of "the integration of foreign public libraries and the six components in tourism", six themes of "traveling, lodging, catering, sightseeing, shopping, and entertaining", and 19 sub-themes. According to this, the five major characteristics of the integration of culture and tourism in foreign public libraries are identified: convenience, uniqueness, novelty, inclusiveness, and multi-functionality, on which the future implications for the development of the integration of culture and tourism in domestic public libraries are summarized.
