Abstract

In this reflective commentary celebrating 20 years of Tourist Studies I draw on my forthcoming book, Developing Earthly Attachments in the Anthropocene, explicitly relating its message to a future looking tourist studies agenda. I outline how such an agenda can underpin the development of ‘earthly tourism’ and thereby explore practices of travel and mobilities informing a planetary mode of living, or what the French Annales school of geography would call genre de vie. The article will detail the meaning of these terms and how these can be informed by, and in turn, inform a future looking academic tourist studies agenda.

  • What was to emerge in my own critical tourism research agenda was developed with my colleague Martin Gren, whereby we propose a tourist studies internalising ‘Earth led priorities and perspectives’ (Gren and Huijbens, 2012, 2014, 2016)

Summary

Introduction

In this reflective commentary celebrating 20 years of Tourist Studies I draw on my forthcoming book, Developing Earthly Attachments in the Anthropocene, explicitly relating its message to a future looking tourist studies agenda (Huijbens, forthcoming). We need to adopt a progressive earthly outlook that can foster a regenerative culture in times of crisis to re-envision our ways of being and doing, co-extensive with our Earth (Huijbens, forthcoming).
