SLOW TOURISM: EXPERIENCES AND MOBILITIES

摘要

This collection provides a mixture of viewpoints and empirical substantiations on the twin notions of slow tourism and slow travel. They are an alternative set of mobilities to the mass tourism juggernaut that advanced capitalism continues to favour. One quality of this collection is its global reach, in which contributions from "down-under" bring a much needed diversity and enrichment to the literature. The editors fulfill their goal that "this collection will add to the body of knowledge concerning this emerging tourism phenomenon" (p. 7).
