Building on previous work on backpacking, this book takes the
analysis of backpacker tourism further by engaging both with new
theoretical debates into tourism experiences and mobilities as well
as with new empirical phenomena such as the rise of the
'flashpacker' and alternative destinations. Chapters include
material on flashpacking, the virtualization of backpacker culture,
the re-conceptualisation of lifestyle travellers, backpackers as
volunteer tourists, as well as backpackers' experiences of hostels,
mobilities and their policy implications. It sets a new benchmark
for the study of independent travel in the contemporary world.
