Tourism has expanded exponentially, as advances in transportation technology among others have led to enhanced personal mobility worldwide. In effect, the migratory phenomena of tourism and travel have become integral components of lifestyle migration for an ever increasing proportion of the world’s population. In 2000, Urry introduced the concept of “mobilities”, which is here conceptualised as including not only mobility (the migration of people) but also the movements of capital, information, skills, expertise and knowledge that arise from tourism and travel. In this paper, a preliminary schematic of lifestyle mobilities, including tourism, is presented and is illustrated in a discussion of the emerging area of slow tourism.
