WP 240 - TOURISMDimitri Ioannides and Bosse Boden
Overarching Objective
• How will tourism in the Arctic Region evolve according to various climate change scenarios?
• Research Questions:
• Will warmer weather conditions in the Arctic lead to the enhancement of tourism activities in the region?
• How can we ensure that future development of tourism in the Arctic follows the tenets of sustainable development?
• How is demand for tourism affected by global events? (changing consumer tastes, new regulatory regimes, environmental policies, etc.)

Tourism system and climate change
• Tourism as a holistic system:– What is happening at the origins because
of growing awareness of climate change?
– Balance between adaptation and mitigation:
– (refers to destinations but also major stakeholders who act as gatekeepers of tourist flows)
• Do you adapt to climate change?
• Do you try to mitigate climate change?
• Do you try to do both?04/19/23 Bergen Presentation
Adaptation and/of Mitigation
• Past experience suggests in the majority of cases destinations and businesses seek to adapt to changing circumstances;
• Rarer to find instances where these players seek to mitigate the effects of emerging circumstances;
• In order to adopt a path towards sustainable development it is imperative to adopt mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Work Plan
• State of the Art – Tourism and Climate Change (ETOUR);
• Status of tourism in the Arctic – Historical trends and current conditions (ETOUR and GEUS – work allocation to be determined);
• Inventory of existing and potential Arctic Tourist destinations (ETOUR and GEUS - TBD)
04/19/23 Bergen Presentation
Work Plan (continued)• Develop indicators relating to economic, social, and
envionmental conditions;
• Develop a typology of Arctic Destinations (Typology based on level of maturity of destination and degree of vulnerability);
• Case studies based on typology (for example):– Early Destinations; – Well-established destinations;– Destinations that have not yet emerged.
• Interview exogenous players influencing Arctic tourism: e.g., Cruise companies, tour operators.
• * Exact allocation of tasks not yet determined.
