April 2025Polar Tourism and Communities
Experiences, Knowledge Building, Challenges and Opportunities
by Dimitri Ioannides, Marisol Vereda, Alix Varnajot
Prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the Arctic and Antarctic regions were experiencing significant growth in tourist arrivals. In the aftermath of this global crisis, the tourism industry has rebounded and the number of tourists visiting the polar regions is expected to keep growing significantly in the coming years. Remote regions are increasingly accessible as tourism actors develop technologies, diversify activities and itineraries, and climate change worsens. In the Arctic, tourism now takes place year-round through various modalities, ranging from exclusive icebreaker expeditions to the North Pole to mass tourism practices in several destinations such as Rovaniemi, Reykjavik, Longyearbyen or Skagway, wherein tourism not only brings opportunities, but also new challenges to local communities. Meanwhile, gateway cities to Antarctica such as Ushuaia and its inhabitants are set to recover from the severe adverse effects due to the virtual standstill of tourism in the region. This book fills the gap in literature on polar tourism and communities. Through several examples encompassing the Arctic and Antarctica, various chapters examine how both the tourism industry and various communities impact and influence each other from economic, sociocultural, political and environmental perspectives. The contents provide a general perspective regarding polar tourism and chapters focusing on challenges and/or experiences of the communities that are related to tourism in the polar regions and delivers: · Exploration of the complex interactions between polar tourism and local communities · Coverage of a broad range of topics including safety, environmental care, increase in the number of visitors, and the pursuit of new experiences at the farthest extremes of the world. Overall, this book provides a unique and timely analysis of the complex interactions between polar tourism and local communities and could be of interest to advanced-level students and researchers in tourism studies and polar geographies.

HumourPetra Pettersens perfekte plan
Åtte uker til jul
by Lene Lauritsen Kjølner
This is the first book in a new series - planned as a series of at least four. A feelgoody novel - not crime - which takes place just before and at Christmas - with lots of humour, charm, love, conflicts - at a lovely island in the south of Norway. "Petra Pettersen works in a book store. She is married to Einar, fisherman at Hvasser, and has two grown daughters. Its a safe and predictable life, but she is bored. Petra have a dream. She wants to work «with art", but dont know what exactly. Suddenly she experiences a Eureka moment. That occurs just after she baked her traditonal christmas-cake, and just before Einar begins to exercise, but is purely coincidential. Just when Petra thinks she lives under a black cloud, she suddenly see hope. But the plan is not perfect. After all: is the hunky lawyer as good as he seems? Is it wise to participate at a cookery course and dismantle wild boars just before christmas? And what does she really know about her daughters' life? A meeting in a wine cellar might just solve Petras complicated plan. Or maybe not? Perhaps it is aunt Bertha's wonderful Christmas cake that changes everything?"
