inconsistencies between aviation and tourism policy. Policy impact research does not need to
be confi ned to economic impact modelling and econometrics, although these certainly
provide fundamental frameworks to evaluate aviation policy issues. From a transport geog-
raphy perspective, a mix of different approaches (a hybridised approach) will help generate
diverse perspectives on the interplay between the politics of international air access and
tourist mobilities. Transport geography, as a specialised branch of human geography, has
much to contribute to the issue. This is particularly relevant as there is a growing push to
bridge the gap between quantitative and qualitative research in the fi eld (Goetz
et al.
, 2009).
