Tourism, Mobilities, and Development in Sparsely Populated Areas

This book provides a framework for understanding how human mobilities associated with tourism (mobile tourists, workers, residents and others) contribute to the economic and social development of destinations in sparsely populated or ‘remote’ areas. Examples are drawn from the northern peripheries of Europe and the north of Australia, and the book provides a framework for continuing research into the role that tourism and ‘new mobilities’ can play in regional development in these locations. This book was published as a special issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism.
