根據旅游利益相關群體對旅游紳士化產生的影響及其規律性,可將旅游紳士化劃分為強制紳士化、無序紳士化和有序紳士化三種類型。強制紳士化是強勢的利益相關者所推動,對當地的環境和社會文化有較大負面影響。無序紳士化主要由外來投資商、游客等引起,缺乏對當地文化和環境的自覺保護。有序紳士化通常借助政府與外來精英的力量,幫助原住居民參與旅游發展,強調旅游開發的循序漸進和原住居民的參與和受益。有序紳士化是農耕遺產地原住居民村落旅游業可持續發展的出路。

Tourism gentrification can be classified into three types,i. e. imposed,disorganized,and organized gentrification based on the influence of relevant stakeholders and the orderliness of the process.Imposed gentrification is led by prominent and powerful stakeholders, primarily aiming at economic development and financial gains. It might lead to severe negative impacts. Disorganized gentrification is led by individual external investors and tourists,who lack the understanding of the importance of conserving local culture and natural environment. Organized gentrification demonstrates a collaborative approach by which the government and external elites contribute their knowhow,capital,and experience in helping the local residents to participant in tourism development. It emphasizes an orderly development of tourism resources with a high level of local residents’ participation and benefits. Thereby,it is the only sustainable gentrification in rural tourism with indigenous agricultural heritage.
