Slow tourism: experiences and mobilities

摘要

Slow travel is an emerging phenomenon which has its origin in the "Slow Food" and "Slow Cities" movements in Italy in the 1980s. In tourism research, however, this topic has received relatively little attention. The book is a timely contribution to the understanding of the concept of slow travel. The authors have succeeded in providing extensive discussions on multiple dimensions of the slow travel notion. The book includes 17 chapters organized in four parts, each of which addresses aspect as diverse as sociology, anthropology, tourism, food or cultural studies.
