Combining polar cruise tourism and science practices

Annals of Tourism Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 107, P. 103794 - 103794

Published: May 28, 2024

Polar tourism is continuously diversifying in order to provide unique experiences travellers. One of the ways which this currently happens by increasingly integrating scientific activities into expedition cruises. While there are mutual benefits combining science and tourism, does not mean that production joint expeditions seamless unproblematic. We apply a practice theory approach analyse practical organisational implications practices during two enactments, with seven-year's interval, Scientific Expedition Edgeøya Svalbard (SEES), organised The Netherlands. Our results demonstrate irregularly combinations different sets require higher levels adaptivity, communicability reflectivity be reproduced successfully.

A virtual geobibliography of polar tourism and climate change

Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 32(9), P. 1948 - 1964

The polar regions are increasingly at the center of attention as hot spots climate crisis well tourism development. recent IPCC reports highlight several change risks for rather carbon-intensive and weather-based/dependent industry in Arctic Antarctic. This study presents scholarly state-of-knowledge on with a literature survey extending beyond Anglophone publications. As supporting tool, we provide live web GIS application based geographical coverages publications filterable by various spatial, thematic bibliographical attributes. final list 137 indicates that, regionally, has been covered more than Antarctic, whilst an uneven distribution within also exists. In terms themes, risk research, i.e. impact adaptation studies, strongly outnumbers carbon studies especially context, and, despite balance between two main research Antarctic proves itself outdated. Accordingly, review ends agenda these spatial gaps their detailed breakdowns.

A South–North research agenda for cryotourism in a warming world

Frontiers in Human Dynamics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7

Published: May 30, 2025

Cryotourism is a distinct form of tourism which based on ice and snow cover thus highly determined by climatic conditions. While considerable body literature addresses the tourism-climate change nexus in (sub-)Arctic European Alpine regions, little known about situation South American high mountain sub-Antarctic areas. Against this background, perspective article presents research agenda for cryotourism-climate from South–North perspective. The initial step toward objective was an 18-days visit Chile Argentina during January February 2024. Drawing upon our field notes, current latest developments snow-based tourism, we propose three key dimensions agenda, namely: (a) mobilities southward spatial substitution, (b) socio-ecological implications cryotourism local communities, (c) governance challenges stakeholders policymakers. We contend that interdisciplinary transdisciplinary approaches to climate are aspects account global nature mobility flows, interlinks between processes impacts environmental transformations.

Consuming placelessness: a geographic critique of current Antarctic tourism development

This paper explores the ongoing development of products, activities, and experiences in rapidly expanding Antarctic tourism industry their potential implications for production places. Informed by theories place placelessness, identifies three particular framings informed diversification: compression time space, detachment Antarctica from Earth, progressive consumption wilderness through luxury comfort. The argues that these dynamics may contribute to a ways which places are situationally materially assembled, leading abstraction, simplification, obfuscation socio-material relations making place. possible consequence is transformation into placeless space consumption. By emphasizing facilitated certain prominent activities infrastructure, contributes debates about destination development, urging consideration how can be shaped foster an appreciation own right.
