This book reframes tourism, as well as leisure, within mobilities
studies to challenge the limitations that dichotomous
understandings of home/away, work/leisure, and host/guest bring. A
mobilities approach to tourism and leisure encourages us to think
beyond the mobilities of tourists to ways in which tourism and
leisure experiences bring other mobilities into sync, or disorder,
and as a result re-conceptualizes social theory. The proposed
anthology stretches across academic disciplines and fields of study
to illustrate the advantages of multi-disciplinary conversation
and, in so doing, it challenges how we approach studies of
movement-based phenomena and the concept of scale. Part One
examines the ways in which mobility informs and is informed by
leisure, from everyday practices to leisure-inspired mobile
lifestyles. Part Two investigates individuals and communities that
become entrepreneurial in the face of changing tourism contexts and
reflects on the performance of work through multiple mobilities.
Part Three turns to issues of development, with attention to the
cultural politics that frame development encounters in the context
of tourism. The varied ways that people move into and out of
development projects is mediated by geopolitical discourses hat can
both challenge and perpetuate geographic imaginations of tourism
destinations.
