New Issues in Polar Tourism Communities, Environments, Politics

About this book

New Issues in Polar Tourism traces and analyzes a decade of growing interest in the polar regions, and the consequent challenges and opportunities of increasing tourist traffic in formerly remote and seldom-visited places. New Issues in Polar Tourism arises from the recently-formed International Polar Tourism Research Network (IPTRN), and documents the outcomes of its 2010 conference, held at Sweden s Abisko Scientific Research Station.
