MOBILITIES: ITS SCOPE AND REFLECTIONS ON TURKISH TOURISM STUDIES

Abstract

There is no doubt that tourism is under current influence of the cultural, social and economic factors taking place across the world. Along with the brisk developments under consideration, the scope of tourism is on the change, too. The mobilities paradigm is one of the concepts that were born into this mutable context. Thanks to this “mobile” structure, the traditional boundaries as to what tourism is have changed to a great extent. The repercussions of mobilities approach have been felt among tourism scholars all over the world. This in mind, this study sets out to perform to functions. The first one is to outline what mobilities approach is and the second one is to examine the extent it is employed in studies of Turkish origin using a bibliometric analysis. The results are astounding in that “mobilities” is an approach with no scientific devotion in tourism studies in Turkey.
