Abstract
In the final chapter of this book, we return to debates about
the meaning of mobility and how this changed after the
freedom to move was suspended for long periods during the
first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. This discussion
acknowledges social, economic and political imperatives
that possess the power to open and close mobility pathways
and the pursuit of sustainability in regard to balancing
the positive and negative impacts of expanded levels of
international travel. While determining an optimal level of
circulation has always been difficult, the pandemic further
complicated this process, extending to a need to work out
how to keep mobility profitable while maintaining public
safety and security
