摘要
The contexts within which websites are created are significant in determining recommendations for places to visit. Comparison is made here between recommendations for visits to rural China made by web sites authored in that country and by sites authored in Europe. Some similarities occur, but justifications for visiting differ. China-authored sites use cultural and historical reasons for recommendations, and are made in the context of official policies for tourist development. Europe-authored websites emphasize the aesthetics of scenic settings and the built environment. The cultural mentalities of web authors influence the information they provide to potential tourists.
