Arctic Tourism Experiences: Production, Consumption and Sustainability delves into the rich tapestry of Arctic tourism, focusing on the diverse peak experiences that visitors encounter in this unique geographical periphery. Edited by Young-Sook Lee, this comprehensive compilation is the first to emphasize both the peripheral nature of the Arctic and its central role as a site of intense and meaningful tourist experiences. The book consists of two main parts. Part 1 explores the depth and dimensions of these experiences, with chapters that unpack the essence of diverse peak experiences in the Arctic region and analyze the factors contributing to their creation. Part 2 examines how the tourism industry supports and sustains itself by delivering these satisfying outcomes, bridging the gap between visitor expectations and industry provision. With a print length of 216 pages, this publication offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts interested in understanding the complex dynamics of Arctic tourism.
