Beskrivning

In A Research Agenda for Arctic Tourism, experts address key topics related to tourism in the North such as the climate crisis, increased political and economic turmoil, and the complexity of interests and relations among stakeholders. Suggesting potential pathways for research on Arctic tourism, the contributors recognize tourism as one future storyline for the Arctic: a storyline embedded in local human and non-human communities.
Bringing in-depth and innovative scholarship together with creative thinking across tourism disciplines, this Research Agenda examines both the positive and negative effects of tourism development in the Arctic: from emerging new transport infrastructure and business, employment and economic opportunities to the impact on indigenous and local communities as well as nature. Experts in Northern tourism explore traditional business perspectives in tourism research with alternative theoretical approaches, highlighting communities and spatial relations.
Scholars researching tourism management and tourism from social science perspectives, as well as Arctic studies more broadly, will appreciate the insights highlighted and the links to the wider topics of international relations, politics, sociology, geography and anthropology.
