ABSTRACT
Introduction Chapter 1 described how a performance turn is spreading into and transforming tourist studies. In Chapter 2 we further developed this in a discussion on how performances of tourism and the everyday increasingly blend as travel becomes omnipresent and the spaces of the globe are traversed by travelling bodies and objects as well as virtual, imaginative and communicative networks. We finally observed the need for rethinking studies of tourist performances within a broader transdisciplinary field of ‘mobilities studies’.
