This book provides an in-depth examination of the growing Asian tourism market and consumption in Arctic destinations.
Through five parts, the book covers Asian mobilities consumption as an extension of Arctic international politics, the transportation sector and green cruise tourism, and ethnicity, culture, and history. It contributes to further understanding of the impacts of increased tourism in these polar regions by exploring climate change, debates around emerging economies and global power roles in the political, socio-economic, security and legal issues of the Arctic and Antarctic and associated polar strategies and policy. By drawing on a range of disciplines and with contributions from experts in Arctic destinations or who are associated with the Arctic, it further provides a holistic framing of emerging demand and mobility patterns of Asian tourists in a polar context.
Asian Mobilities Consumption in a Changing Arctic will be valuable reading for students and academics across the fields of tourism, economics, sustainability, development studies as well as other social science disciplines.
"Asian tourists are interested in the Arctic and travelled to the Arctic in large numbers until the corona-pandemic temporarily closed down international travelling in 2020/21. There are reasons to believe that we soon will see numerous Asian tourists in the Arctic again. Asian Mobilities Consumption in a Changing Arctic brings many of the leading researchers in Arctic tourism together to provide a varied and interesting state of the art view of the phenomenon. It provides a rich reference source for the tourism industry, researchers and students in the field."
Anne Husebekk, Rector (University President), UiT The Arctic University of Norway
"The book represents a timely, interesting, and important investigation of Asian mobilities. The terms Arctic, conspicuous mobilities, consumption, sustainability, politics, and urbanisation appear to be at odds with each other at first glance. However, the discussion sets the foundation for a multitude of exciting research agenda and provides a fresh perspective for practitioners. Not only is this a reference book for researchers, practitioners should benefit tremendously from the insights presented."
Cathy H.C. Hsu, Professor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, PRC.
