This book explores the understanding description and measurement of the physical sensory
social and emotional features of motorcycle and bicycle journey experiences in tourism. Novel
insights are presented from an original case study of these forms of tourism in the Sella Pass
a panoramic road close to the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. A comprehensive
mixed-methods strategy was employed for this research with concurrent use of quantitative and
qualitative methods including documentation and secondary data analysis mobile video
ethnography and emotion measurement. The aim was to create a holistic knowledge of the
features of journey experiences and a new definition of the mobility space as a perceptual
space. The book is significant in that it is among the first studies to explore the concept of
journey experiences and to develop an interdisciplinary theoretical foundation of mobility
spaces. It offers a comprehensive understanding and a benchmarking of the features of
motorcycling and cycling journey experiences a deeper market knowledge on motorcycling and
cycling tourists and a set of tools techniques and recommendations for future research on
tourist experiences.
