ABSTRACT

Chapter 9, Where do we go from here? Travel in an age of eco-anxiety, discusses contemporary debates about the psychology of travel in the era of global climate change, economic flux and health emergencies. Answers to questions about how and where we travel are being revised in the wake of these global health, economic and climate emergencies. The influence of COVID-19 and other epidemic is explored in relation to changing leisure habits. This chapter looks at the anxieties that arise from these revisions, using theories of digital nomadism and eco-anxiety to help us understand the psychological implications of traveling in uncertain times.
