Abstract
En 中文
Fashion tourism is increasingly positioned as a driver of destination development, yet its governance remains poorly theorized with respect to power concentration, digital visibility, and sustainability. Drawing on Actor–Network Theory and in-depth interviews with 23 international stakeholders, this study examines how collaborative governance is assembled, contested, and maintained across fashion tourism destinations. The analysis identifies three interconnected dynamics: governance asymmetries, digital ecosystem reconfiguration, and emergent sustainability logics. The study employs Actor–Network Theory to show how unequal actor positions, platform-mediated visibility, and resource dependencies shape who is enrolled, who gains influence, and whose sustainability priorities count. It further traces how actor-networks are assembled through brand hierarchies, event infrastructures, and platform algorithms that mediate access to resources and visibility. The findings challenge assumptions of collaborative governance as inherently inclusive and reconceptualize fashion tourism destinations as asymmetrical, digitally mediated governance networks that shape power relations, value distribution, and adaptive capacity.
