Tourism-Driven Mobilities

Tourism Geographies, Tourist Studies and the Turn towards Mobilities

Tourism is frequently acclaimed as one of the world’s largest and most pervasive industries. Research into tourism has grown rapidly in recent years with many new books and journals appearing. In particular, this article notes that perhaps three new journals have marked the coming of age of tourism-related research, namely, Tourism Geographies, Tourist Studies and finally Mobilities. While a gr...

Mobilities and sustainable tourism : path creating or path dependent relationships ?

This paper advances understanding of tourism mobility trajectories and outcomes by discussing if the trajectory of tourism mobility is path dependent or path creating and, therefore, whether tourism is locked into existing sub optimal pathways, or is there scope for creating significantly more sustainable future pathways. Tourism mobilities are understood in the context of overall shifts in cor...

The Mobilities of Electrons.

In a recent paper' it was shown that the electrons could presumably travel through N2 and H2 gases!in a free state at atmospheric pressure. It was found in some cases impossible to evaluate the mobilities of these electrons with the low frequencies of commutation available. The values of the mobilities indicated by these results appeared to be so much higher than the values obtained by earlier ...

Editorial: Surveillance and Mobilities

The editorial introduces the pieces in this special issue on surveillance and mobilities. It draws out the key themes of the issue, asking: what is meant by ‘mobility’ and why it deserves such a focus; what are the goals and purposes of the surveillance of mobilities; and finally, what are the consequences. It proposes a simple typology of mobilities: ‘what moves’ (body, transactions, and artef...
