Unlike previous texts that have focussed on migratory patterns of
tourists and new mobilities in tourism, Tracking Tourists: Movement
and mobility is the first text to address tourist movement in from
a methodological angle in the post-digital era. It assesses how
movement and migration has been recorded in the past, how it may be
recorded and assessed now and the possibilities for exploring
movement in the future. Using international case studies that are
both current and historical, it explores the range of options that
exist for assessing tourists' movement, along with the relative
merits of each method. It will give a special focus to new
technologies that facilitate our understanding of movement, such as
the use of big data, hashtag scraping, Wi-Fi tracking, farming data
from mobile phone towers and cutting-edge GPS tracking. It
discusses the positive and negative consequences of the use of
these new technologies and tackles issues such as ethical dilemmas
and future trends and technology needs. Tracking Tourists: Movement
and mobility: * Serves as the definitive guide for understanding
the methods involved in understanding tourist movements and tourist
migration patterns' * Uses international case studies from around
the world, both current and historical to explore the range of
options that exist. * Gives a special focus to new technologies
that facilitate our understanding of movement.
