The Emergence of Green Drive Tourism: A Comparative Study of Existing Drive Tourism Routes

Abstract
This study evaluates the sustainability of a number of existing drive-tourism routes and determines how likely each are to impact on future changes to drive tourism, drive tourism destinations and the drive tourist. Exploratory in nature, the study builds upon an existing framework by Fjelstul and Fyall (2015) with usage of a qualitative approach to interpret and compare data gleaned from a content analysis of various web sites connected to notable drive tourism routes across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. The study concludes that green infrastructure is beginning to surface as a reality rather than an utopian ideal with a number of destinations beginning to recognize the growing number of fully-electric vehicles on the road and the infrastructure necessary to support them.
