ABSTRACT

This chapter synthesises the key themes discussed in the book, themes that reveal the cosmological significance of tourism. Overall, I argue that the chapter should be read as a pause in the argument rather than as a point of closure. This is because the body, things, the built environment and the four interrelated elements of earthly dwelling are not the only examples of being and dwelling through tourism. This chapter sets out ideas for future research and argues that such research should look far and wide to acknowledge other cultures and other ways of being and dwelling through tourism.
