Co-Creating Tourism Research

Carina Ren is Associate Professor at the Department of Culture and Global Studies at Aalborg University. She is interested in how tourism interferes with other fields of the social through cultural innovation and explores new ways in which tourism is developed, organised and valued. Her research often takes place in research collaborations with tourism organisations and industry, citizens and students. Gunnar Thór Jóhannesson is Professor at the Department of Geography and Tourism, University of Iceland. His recent research has been on destination dynamics and place making with a focus on the entanglement of nature and culture. This has involved studies on entrepreneurship, innovation and policy making. He is a co-editor of Actor-Network Theory and Tourism: Ordering, materiality and multiplicity, published in 2012 with Routledge and Tourism Encounters and Controversies: Ontological Politics of Tourism Development, published with Ashgate in 2015. René van der Duim is Professor at the Cultural Geography Group, Wageningen University, the Netherlands. He holds a PhD on the relation between tourism and sustainable development making use of insights from actor-network theory. He has executed research and educational projects in countries like Thailand, Nepal, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Namibia, Kenya, Uganda, Portugal and the Netherlands and is also chair of the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education and Research (ATLAS).
