dc.description.abstract | It is argued that the cultural dimensions of the Arctic and Subarctic have much to offer contemporary
tourism, both as sources of new contents in tours and as an important field in tourism research and
management training. In Norway, the Euroarctic is marketed to tourists focusing on nature and wildlife. A
limited set of branding elements is used: northern lights, ice hotels, dogsledding, “safaris” for watching:
whales, rare birds, and for catching king crabs. Wildlife, like the weather, is unreliable, and disappointed
tourists are bad for business, so cultural contents have in practice proved necessary to bring into guide narratives
as “backup entertainment” on no-shows of the natural attraction. Much more of the ethnological
and historic heritage of the Euroarctic has potential interest to regional tourism development. This article
compares tourism in the Euroarctic with that of the southeast Baltic Sea region, to find examples of what
this could be and makes some recommendations based on that. | en_US |
