Abstract

Drawing from an analysis of Canadian travel security and border policies, which is grounded in a critical mobilities approach, the article sheds light on the normalization and moralization of travel and tourism policies in the post-9/11 era as well as the implications thereof. In particular, the article aims to problematize the ways (tourism) mobility is constructed in contemporary Canadian policies and programmes (as deeply influenced by American policies); consider the implications of these constructions, most notably in terms of what we refer to as ‘anti-mobilities in tourism’; illuminate the implications of this particular moralization of Canadian border, travel, and security practices for travellers; and locate opportunities for tourism scholars to utilize a critical mobilities framework to continue to interrogate the normalization and moralization of particular travel policies more broadly.
