背包客是最重視與當地文化接觸的旅遊型態之一，基於特定的跨文化能力，背包客可以在文化接觸過程中促進主客雙方的文化理解、情感交流與社會溝通，進而實踐觀光中的接觸地帶。本研究擬探索背包客文化接觸的經驗現象，以瞭解其展現的跨文化能力。以現象學為方法論訪談15位背包客的旅遊經驗，研究結果呈現七個主題：（1）喜歡接觸不同文化，隨興探尋新奇景點；（2）尊重主客文化差異，謹慎行為遵守規則；（3）主動瞭解文化知識，理解接納異地文化；（4）追求交流互動體驗，融入當地真實生活；（5）欣賞文化相異特色，沉浸享受文化氣氛；（6）比較反思文化差異，放下成見進而維護；（7）珍惜旅遊美好回憶，收穫回饋日常生活。本研究亦提出對旅遊地管理單位及背包客雙方之管理意涵，以促使正向的文化接觸。

Backpacking is one of the travel types that emphasizes cultural contact with the local community. Drawing on certain intercultural competencies, backpackers can facilitate cultural understanding, emotional exchange, and social communication between host and guest through the cultural contact process, thereby practicing a tourism "contact zone." This study aims to explore the cultural contact experience of backpackers to understand the intercultural competence they perform. Phenomenology was used as the methodology, and 15 backpackers were interviewed. Seven themes emerged: (1) interested in cultural differences and exploring special attractions; (2) respecting cultural differences and complying with cultural rules; (3) obtaining cultural knowledge and understanding cultural differences; (4) pursuing interactive experiences and entering the daily life of locals; (5) appreciating cultural differences and enjoying the cultural atmosphere; (6) reflecting between cultures, reducing prejudices and further preservation; and (7) cherishing tourism memories and responding to daily life. Managerial implications for destination management and backpackers are also discussed to promote positive cultural contacts.
