A review of research into lifestyle mobilities and digital nomadism

Lifestyle mobilities refers to ways of life oriented around ongoing geographic mobility. This article first provides a history of lifestyle mobilities and how it is analytically distinct. We turn to the state-of-the-art in lifestyle mobilities research through a focus on digital nomadism. Our emphasis is on lifestyle mobilities' relevance for tourism, its infrastructure and politicisation – via geopolitics, geoarbitrage and gentrification, and the need for greater research diversity. We map a future research agenda centred on tensions of transitioning out, precarity and emplacement. The article also launches the Annals of Tourism Research Curated Collection on lifestyle mobilities. The Collection contains all past articles published in Annals of Tourism Research on the topic, and continues to grow as new articles are added. • Launches ATR curated collection on Lifestyle Mobilities that will continue to grow • Provides a history of lifestyle mobilities and how it is analytically distinct • State-of-the-art focus on digital nomadism and lifestyle mobilities' infrastructure • Examines its politicisation via 3Gs - geopolitics, geoarbitrage and gentrification • Research agenda around tensions of transitioning out, precarity and emplacement
