The total number of foreign tourists received in countries
throughout the world was 530 million in 1995. That number broke
through the 1 billion mark for the first time in 2012, at
1,035,000,000. In 2015, it reached 1,180,000,000. According to
Anthony Elliott and John Urry, modern society has been
characterized as being "mobile", and within that we are also living
"mobile lives". In modern society, flows of people, things,
capital, information, ideas and technologies are constantly
occurring, and as they are merging like a violently rushing stream,
what could be termed a landscape of mobilities has appeared. Social
realities are in flux and are transforming to become different than
they were before. This volume will expand the inquiry of tourism
mobilities comprehensively and clearly from the fields of
humanities and social sciences. In particular, tourism mobilities
has been actively investigated up to now in the UK, US, Europe and
Australia, but even though the Japanese body of literature contains
a great many excellent studies of Japanese examples, there are
almost no English-language articles presenting their results.
Publishing examples of Japanese tourism mobilities will not only
foster new and exciting lines of inquiry for existing and future
research on tourism mobilities, but will also have implications for
humanities and social sciences throughout the world.
