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
