Turisme mobilitet er blevet den nye form rejse form, hvilket i resulterer i vores adgang til digitale enheder og vores iver for at have selvbestemmelse når vi rejser.Vi har ikke længere brug for de traditionelle turist elementer. Denne nye opførsel har især forandret vores rejse vaner and rejsebranchen er netop den industri som har taget imod den digitale metoder. Denne vending i vores mobilitet bliver diskuteret igennem den historiske udvikling, hvor Lyngbys perspektiv bliver kigget på. Diskussionen leder til Case studiet for Lyngby. En forstad til København, som udvikler byen igennem viden. Men, som borger i byen, har jeg undret mig over hvorfor turismen ikke har plads i byen. Jeg har fundet flere selvmodsigelser, som for eksempel at lukker turistkontoret, nærmest på samme tid som de laver en turisme strategi, som i øvrigt bygger på et svagt grundlag. Yderligere afviser de turismen ved at sige "Faktisk, så ønsker vi ikke turisme". Der virker til at være en forkert opfattelse af hvad turisme er imellem repræsentanterne for Lyngby. Derudover så er der mangler på viden om hvordan turismen kan bidrage til de lokal interessenter, borgere og local samfundet.

Tourism mobility has become a new travelling behavior, which results from our access to digital devices and urge for being self reliant when travelling. We, no longer need the traditional touristic elements. This new behavior has especially transformed our travel habits and the travelling industry is the one industry that have taken the digital age to heart. This turn in our mobility is discussed through a historic development where the perspective for the case of Lyngby are being discussed. The discussion leads to the case study of Lyngby. A suburb to Copenhagen, which are developing the city through knowledge. However, as a resident in the city I have wondered why tourism, has no part in the City. I have found several contradictions, such as the tourism office that closes, and a tourist strategy that is being created at the same time, based on a vague report, furthermore the neglection of tourism, which is also made on vague grounds. A statement from the municipality awaked my curiosity; “the fact is, that we don't want tourism”. However as an employee of the city's hotel, I saw many tourists and their need for touristic products. There seem to be a misconception of tourism among the city representants and also a lack of acknowledgement for how tourism can contribute to the local stakeholders, residents and the community. The attitude of this “Non-Tourism” is seeked to be understood, and the actions in Lyngby will be analysed through the tourism mobility studies.
