Ageing, transition and the end of travel
Bob McKercher
What the paper says
People must stop travelling at some point in their lives. Cessation may be abrupt or gradual and may be taken voluntarily or be forced due to a range of endogenous and exogenous factors. While much has been written about the benefits of travel as part of the healthy ageing process, literature on the end of travel is lacking. This paper, framed within lifespan development theory, explores the end of travel conceptually and develops a framework that illustrates the processes involved in and outcomes from the cessation of travel. The paper concludes with the identification of a future research agenda.
