Arctic tourism experiences: production, consumption and sustainability.

Book cover for Arctic tourism experiences: production, consumption and sustainability.

Description

This book aims to better understand the production and consumption of visitor experiences in the Arctic region as a rapidly changing tourist destination. This knowledge will contribute to a balanced triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability approach in Arctic tourism. Part 1 (chapters 1-6) investigates the depth and dimensions of tourist experiences in the Arctic. The chapters examine the essence of diverse peak experiences and delve into the factors that give rise to these experiences. Part 2 (chapters 7-20) considers the links between these core experiences and the tourism industry that seeks to sustain itself by facilitating such satisfying outcomes. The book has a subject index.
