“…It is equally important to recognise that, -[s]tillness, waiting, slowness and boredom may be just as important to many situations, practices and movements as sensations and experiences of speed, movement, excitement and exhilaration‖ when doing tourism mobilities research (Merriman, 2013: 16). Mobile methodologies add to our repertoire of techniques for gathering data rather than replacing existing ones, but help to bring alive our understanding of tourism mobilities (Adey et al, 2013).…”

This paper examines key developments in recent tourism mobilities research. It begins by outlining the recent conceptualisation of tourism mobilities, arguing that it is not just that tourism is a form of mobility like other forms of mobility but that different mobilities inform and are informed by tourism. It then examines work which has been developed in terms of materialities, autmobilities and new technologies. It concludes by discussing mobile methodologies and some thoughts on future research directions.

This paper uses empirical material gathered with young adults in New Zealand to examine a potential sustainability transition-in-practice. It draws from two frameworks; the actorcentred Energy Cultures Framework to explore mobility behaviours, and the multi-level perspective (MLP) to situate behaviour change within the socio-technical transitions literature. The MLP has traditionally been used to analyse historical transitions (e.g. from the horse and cart to the motor vehicle), but in this paper, it is used to explore an on-going change trend; the emergent mobilities of young adults who appear to be aspiring for different types of mobility. A series of mobility trends are described, which emerged from a programme of qualitative interviews (n=51). The material culture, norms and practices that constitute these trends are articulated. These are then considered through the lens of the MLP. The evidence points to emergent trends of multimodality that, if leveraged upon and supported, could contribute to a systemic sustainability transition.

“…Recent sociological time diagnoses have shown that spatial mobility is on the rise in modern societies (e.g. Adey 2013;. The theoretical analysis of modern societies includes a discussion of the requirements for spatial flexibility at a micro-sociological level.…”

“… imaginative travel through images of places and peoples via television, and other media; This ‗mobilities paradigm' (Adey et al 2013) is obviously directly connected to the ‗spatial turn' within social sciences (Barney and Arias 2008). Within social sciences after this ‗spatial and mobilities turn' in general, geographical space is no longer seen only as a passive container, but also as a relevant factor for enabling and restraining social practices.…”
