This book offers a multidisciplinary, holistic appraisal of the implications of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) for tourism and related mobilities. It attempts to look beyond the short- to medium-term consequences of these processes for both the UK and the EU. It is divided into four major sections: Context, Tourism Impacts, Implications, and Global Britain? The volume employs case studies to highlight Brexit's ripple effects on tourism, mobilities and immobilities. It will be of interest to researchers, students and policymakers in tourism, European studies, political geography, regional development, international relations and politics.

The very first book to discuss the impacts of Brexit on tourism
Derek Hall is a Partner in Seabank Associates, and latterly Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth, UK. He has extensive experience in the field of tourism and political geography. His recent publications include Tourism and Geopolitics: Issues and Concepts from Central and Eastern Europe (CABI, 2017).
Tourism is associated with breaking down barriers. Brexit has the
effect of raising barriers. Bring the two together and there is an
inevitable clash. This book does a great job in exploring the
background and nature of this clash for tourism in the UK and
beyond. Its systematic and multidisciplinary exploration of the
context, impacts and implications of Brexit will make it required
reading for a generation of tourism scholars.
*David Airey, Emeritus Professor, University of Surrey, UK*
The safe option would have been to write this book once political
events had settled. Hall’s decision to offer an assessment now is
very welcome. His analysis of this highly topical issue is
thoughtful, at times controversial, and very engaging. I thoroughly
enjoyed reading it.
*Rhodri Thomas, Leeds Beckett University, UK*
This book will make a valuable contribution to the current
discussion on the impact of Brexit on the British tourism industry.
Its theoretical and factual background provides an appropriate
rationale for the timely publication of this book as it gives the
reader a thorough understanding of this contentious issue.
*Noëlle O'Connor, Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland*
This volume cuts through the thicket of confusion, political
hyperbole, and conflicting statements to present a range of
possible outcomes [of Brexit]. Hall's directional analysis is data
based and supported by the inclusion of other voices in the form of
case studies. Presented in non-fussy prose, the main argument
centers around the paradox that tourism typically promotes mobility
while Brexit effectively pushes for greater immobility.
*CHOICE, Vol. 58 No. 4, Dec 2020*
Brexit and Tourism is packed with statistics and graphics and
charts [...] This book is a goldmine of argument stoppers framed by
an emphatic ‘I Told You So’ [...] Simply put, anyone involved
with Europe- whether through business, property or leisure- should
have this book close to hand as we plunge through unknown
waters.
*The Birmingham Press, September 2020*
This book provides a critical, revealing and thought-provoking
overview of Brexit’s potential future consequences for in-bound,
out-bound and domestic tourism. Insights are provided into how
political events may markedly affect a nation’s tourism industry,
and into how these consequences may be overlooked, ignored and not
planned for. The book will be valuable for students on both
undergraduate and postgraduate courses in tourism, and on courses
in other disciplinary fields concerned with European policy
issues.
*Current Issues in Tourism, 2020*
One of the best features of Brexit and Tourism lays on the fact
that Brexit is presented from different perspectives (historic,
political, sociological, economic, legal). This book is also a
“one-stop-shop”, as not much has been written on the topic of
tourism and Brexit.
