Abstract:In spite of controversy, postmodern philosophy and theory has shown itself to be the overall criticism and reflection of modernism. No matter how scholars comment on postmodernism, positive, neutral or negative, postmodern theories and discussions are connected to the fact that modern ways of life have changed and this has created a need for new general rules. Under such context, we can rethink the change of tourism and re-discuss the meaning of tourism in a broader social theoretical framework. Superflow and superfluidity has been one of the main characteristics in postmodern society and we observe that there is a "mobility turn" in social sciences research. In this paper, we therefore first examine the history of mobility, in particular the discourse about mobility under different times and social contexts. Then on the basis of analysis of the essence of what mobility mean to postmodern world, in particular the spirit of postmodernism, the paper identifies three changes in tourism today and tends to develop a new framework for tourism research: 1) the emergence of a more de-differentiated tourism world without boundary; 2) new tourists' experiences under a new space-time relationship in postmodern society; 3) rethinking the spirit of tourism and calling for a more responsible tourism under postmodern context.
