The book explores the thesis from various perspectives that (tourist) travel represents a special window into a society, thereby offering an opportunity to learn more about certain social mechanisms and driving forces. Conversely, we can assume that travel behavior is closely linked to social phenomena. Therefore, anyone wishing to trace past developments in travel, understand current dynamics, and create future scenarios regarding (tourist) travel must inevitably engage with fundamental social questions. This volume examines these diverse areas of tension between the phenomenon of travel and the social conditions from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Each topic is illustrated with concrete examples from practice.
