Abstract
This study aims to interpret the relationships among the various actors (human including residents, tourists, artists, and so on, and non-human environments including blogs, topographical features, and destination images) at a tourist site, in which those actors come together. Using the perspectives of actor-network theory, the research observes how networks surrounding destinations are formed and changed by human and non-human actors. It was discovered that once a tourism-industry-directed network had been newly introduced, the actors actively participated in network activities to achieve continuing benefits greater than those that would have been possible without this network.
