“…Rather it is seen as integral to wider processes of economic and political development processes and even constitutive of everyday life (Franklin and Crang, 2001;Franklin, 2003;Coles and Hall, 2006;Edensor, 2007; Hannam and Knox, 2010).…”

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.

“…In the classic sense, tourism, as time and space apart from the everyday (Franklin, 2003), offers promises of rejuvenation and rehabilitation of mind and body (Richards, 1996). However, tourism is also replete with perceived and real risk (Williams & Baláž, 2014; Yang & Nair, 2014) that can lead to unfavourable health outcomes for those travelling abroad.…”

Purpose: Despite established knowledge that tourists often fall ill or are injured abroad, little is known about their treatment. The intent of this study was to explore health care professionals’ treatment provision experiences on Cozumel Island, Mexico. Methods: 13 semi-structured interviews were undertaken with professionals across a number of health care vocations on Cozumel Island. Interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed to determine common challenges faced in the provision of treatment for transnational tourists. Results: Three thematic challenges emerged from the data: human and physical resource deficiencies, medical (mis)perceptions held by patients and complexities surrounding remuneration of care. Health care providers employ unique strategies to mitigate these challenges. Conclusion: Although many of these challenges exist within other touristic and peripheral spaces, we suggest that the challenges experienced by Cozumel Island’s health care professionals, and their mitigation strategies, exist as part of a complex entanglement between the island’s health care sector and its dominant tourism landscape. We call on tangential tourism services to take a larger role in ensuring the ease of access to, and provision of quality health care services for tourists on Cozumel Island.

“…The point is that the modern era was characterised by the process of differentiation and the postmodern era is characterised by the process of dedifferentiation, which includes blurring the boundaries between everyday life and tourist activities. Consequently, it has become difficult to avoid tourism places and people come across tourist attractions even within the framework of their everyday lives and daily activities (Franklin, 2003). In this context, Lash and Urry (1994) conceptualized the decreasing distinctions between everyday life and tourist experiences as "the end of tourism".…”

“…In line with these orientations, members of the two former types of tourists are referred to as "travelling workers", and members of the latter two are referred to as "working tourists" (Uriely, 2001). Franklin (2003) argued that the former conceptual framework of tourism taking place away from home provides a limited cartographic concept of tourism mobilities. It is true that tourism is separated from normal life by the long distances people often travel in order to be tourists and that tourist places themselves are separated from workday places not only by their remoteness but also in their possession of those special touristic qualities that everyday places lack.…”

“…The abandonment of tourist typologies, taking into consideration the fact that tourists are not passive consumers, the shift of attention towards the existential authenticity, and the admittance that tourism is a multisensory and physical experience bear witness to the recent theoretical turn in the study of the tourist experience, which stresses the importance of the individual and his/her role in the tourist industry. Such a shift of opinion has been closely linked with the emergence of the postmodern thought (Franklin, 2003;Uriely, 2005).…”

The purpose of this paper is to indicate that in today's circumstances of time and space compression, diversification of the tourism product, and diversity and multiplicity of tourist experiences, it is necessary to move away from the traditional typologically rigid and narrow theoretical framework towards more flexible conceptualisations. The paper brings a theoretical overview of theorists who have been meritorious for such a shift of opinion and associated with the emergence of the postmodern thought in the contemporary tourism theory.The abandonment of tourist typologies, the shift of attention towards the existential authenticity, and the admittance that tourism is a multisensory and physical experience bear witness to the recent theoretical shift in the study of the tourist experience which stresses the importance of the individual and his/her role in the tourist industry. New forms of tourism have been emerging, which have the potential to replace or at least change the already existing forms and fundamental tourism structures. A new type of tourism demand has significantly changed the nature of tourism offer. The alterations in the tourism offer and demand and the mere nature of the tourism product are usually associated with the concept of the post-tourist. By focusing on the effects of increasing mobilities of people and objects and new ways of sensing a touristic world, this work is a contribution to new directions in tourism analysis providing an account of various tourists' performances that help to constitute tourist destinations.
