“The article has been of interest, as evidenced in citations, to not just mobilities studies, but also to scholars of migration and tourism, publishing in journals across these varied fields. It has not only drawn greater attention to the interconnectedness of these fields, but has also shown how lifestyle considerations have become increasingly central to a range of mobilities in the contemporary world. We have been delighted that colleagues have found a lifestyle mobilities perspective to be a useful and fresh theoretical framing, with applications in a variety of contexts.”
