In the current trend of increasing globalization, relationships are
evolving between global and local realities, rich and poor regions
of the world and 'old' and 'new' leisure and tourism patterns. The
tourist has become an active agent in their travel expereinces,
moving between and among multiple localities, in an environment of
transnational, interconnected social networks. In order to
understand the modern tourist, concepts of mobility have begun to
be applied to tourism studies and have questioned whether the word
tourism is any longer sufficient to describe the complex
socio-political milieu of people on the move. Bringing together
theoretical and practical issues, this edited volume analyses
tourism's wider role as an agent for the mobile modern population
of the world. Themes range from post-modern youth and independent
mobility to theoretical texts on hypermobility and citizenship
within global space and mobility, media and citizenship. Offering a
thought-provoking examination of modern tourism, this will be an
important text for students of tourism and human geography as well
as tourism professionals.
