Abstract
Tourism development of traditional villages is a specific form to promote the creative transformation of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and also an effective way to implement the strategy of rural revitalization. Although aborigines are often in a disadvantaged position, there are still some traditional village under the mode of community participation, which shows more villagers' power and influence in the production of tourism space. But is this more conducive to the effective development of traditional village tourism resources? Based on the theoretical framework of spatial production and the field work in Luxiang ancient village, Dongshan Town, Suzhou City, this paper preliminarily explores the characteristics and possible influence of traditional village tourism development under the mode of community participation. It shows that the dominant role of villagers is often reflected by the less involvement of external capital and local government. Although this helps to protect the interests of some villagers involved in tourism, it is easy to fall into the predicament of insufficient investment and low-level development, and limited by the cultural quality and shortsighted tendency of villagers, it may face more obvious contradictions between economic interests and cultural protection, between individual interests and collective interests, which are not conducive to the improvement of the quality of tourism. That is to say, the tourism space production under the mode of community participation may not effectively promote the creative transformation of excellent traditional culture and rural revitalization. The scientific guidance of local governments and the introduction of external talents, capitals and technologies may help overcome the tendency of quick success and instant benefit.
