Arctic tourism in the 21st century

Academic interest in Arctic tourism has developed rapidly since 1990s, hand in hand with increased tourism to the Arctic and the subarctic regions. In the volume at hand, experts addressed some of the topics that have arisen on the academic agenda and elaborated on potential future pathways for research. The concluding chapter introduces some overall development – such as warming climate, increased political and economic turmoil, complexity of interests and relations among stakeholders, and value-based practices for the Anthropocene – that may affect the future of Arctic tourism, and further aligns this development with the research agendas presented in the chapters of this book.
