Summary
Living in a world that is increasingly 'on the move' means that many of us now rely on mobile devices, social media, and networking technologies to coordinate togetherness with our social networks even when we are apart. Nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in the emerging practices of 'interactive travel'. Today's travellers are more likely than ever to pack a laptop or a mobile phone and to use these devices to stay in touch with friends and family members - as well as to connect with strangers and other travellers - while they are on the road. New practices such as location-aware navigating, travel blogging, flashpacking and Couchsurfing now shape the way travellers engage with each other, with their social networks, and with the world around them.

Summary
This ebook focuses on different aspects of the shopping experience for tourists. The data collection sites are global in nature; however, the theme remains the same: shopping is important to the tourist and to the tourism venues. The economic impact of the shopping, along with the expenditures for other tour-related activities, contributes a great deal to many economies throughout the world. The purpose of this ebook is to bring a broad perspective to a seemingly narrow topic so that researchers in academia and industry can better understand the shopper who also happens to be a tourist.
