越来越多的年轻人旅行导致年轻人被贴上“游牧民”的标签。本文考察了旅游文献中的青年游牧现象，并考察了最近的经验证据。围绕青年游牧文学的审查确定了两个主要主题：青年旅游利基的增长和发展的分析，如背包，志愿者旅游和教育交流，以及更广泛的方法与移动范式的兴起。一项关于青年旅行的大型全球调查（34，000名受访者）表明，与不同形式的“游牧”有关的三种主要旅行方式：背包客、闪光包和全球游牧。传统的背包客可以被看作是一种“新部落”，聚集在自给自足的飞地。相比之下，闪购者或“数字游牧民”利用现有的数字和物流基础设施来维持流动的个性化生活方式。全球游牧者，或“位置独立旅行者”，试图融入当地社区，同时试图避免“系统”的束缚。
Increasing youth travel has led to young people being labelled as ‘nomads’. This paper examines the phenomenon of youth nomadism in the tourism literature as well as examining recent empirical evidence. A review of the literature around youth nomadism identifies two major themes: analyses of the growth and development of youth travel niches, such as backpacking, volunteer tourism and educational exchange, and broader approaches linked to the rise of the mobilities paradigm. A major global survey of youth travel (34,000 respondents) indicates three major travel styles related to different forms of ‘nomadism’: the backpacker, the flashpacker and the global nomad. The traditional backpacker can be seen as a form of ‘neo-tribe’, gathering in self-sufficient enclaves. In contrast, the flashpacker, or ‘digital nomad', utilizes existing digital and logistic infrastructure to maintain a fluid, individualized lifestyle. The global nomad, or ‘location independent traveller’, tries to integrate with the local community, while trying to avoid the strictures of ‘system’.
