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.
