Hannam, Kevin

Abstract

Tourism mobilities emphasize the complex interrelationships involved in the movement of people as well as material and nonmaterial things at different scales. This chapter outlines some key aspects of research into tourism mobilities in terms of firstly, the geopolitics of global tourism mobilities, secondly, the materialities of heritage tourism mobilities, thirdly, imaginative tourism mobilities, including pilgrimage, and, fourthly the development of mobile methodologies.
