Bringing together scholars from the areas of tourism, leisure and
cultural studies, eco-humanities and tourism management, this book
examines the emerging phenomenon of slow tourism. The book explores
the range of travel experiences that are part of growing consumer
concerns with quality leisure time, environmental and cultural
sustainability, as well as the embodied experience of place. Slow
tourism encapsulates a range of lifestyle practices, mobilities and
ethics that are connected to social movements such as slow food and
cities, as well as specialist sectors such as ecotourism and
voluntourism. The slow experience of temporality can evoke and
incite different ways of being and moving, as well as different
logics of desire that value travel experiences as forms of
knowledge. Slow travel practices reflect a range of
ethical-political positions that have yet to be critically explored
in the academic literature despite the growth of industry
discourse.
