The practice of packing a bag is a situation where subtle, daily
processes can attune us to the relationships and experiences formed
in mobile situations. There has been great attention to mundane and
material practices in tourism, yet the process of packing, which is
integral to any journey, remains unexamined. Everyday Practices of
Tourism Mobilities: Packing a Bag expands on the foundational
theories of tourist practices through a rich assortment of
photographic documentation and interviews with tourists in
hostelling accommodation. It presents the intricacies and relations
emerging through packing and the connections to an array of actors
entwined in both touristic and everyday experiences of movement.
Using case studies in Iceland and Nepal, the book explores how
idealised tourist destinations influence everyday actions. The
disjuncture between mundane routines and the heightened immersive
environments is conducive to tourists attuning to the entanglement
of actors and experiences beyond individual expectations. The book
traces these moments of collective experiences to reflect on the
intersections of globalised mobility and everyday tourist
practices. The international scope of this highly original and
intriguing book will appeal to a broad academic audience, including
scholars of tourism, cultural and social geography, mobilities
studies, and environmental humanities.
