Abstract

For the mechanism of the "Anime Pilgrimage" behavior driven by the emotional projection of Generation Z ACGN on tourist destinations, 1747 user comment data were crawled and a theoretical model was constructed using programmatic grounded theory.A questionnaire survey was conducted for Generation Z and analyzed using structural equation modeling.The results show that: (1) The popularity of cultural IP can increase tourism willingness, but cannot enhance perceived value.(2) Cultural identity can enrich and enhance the tourism experience, but it cannot directly trigger tourism behavior.(3) Value co creation behavior can enhance tourists' perceived value and trigger their willingness to travel.
