Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper provides a review of research in nature-based tourism in the Nordic region, discuss it from an international viewpoint and provide an outlook for the future research agenda. To do this, we analyze the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism for papers focusing on nature-based tourism from 2010 to 2020, as well as 29 key textbooks representing international scholarship within the last decade. We argue there has been an increase in the number of studies looking at nature-based tourism from the supply side, especially about destination development, lifestyle entrepreneurship and the role of guides. We also notice that many research questions are raised from practical needs, while more theoretically oriented research is rather limited. The international call for new, bold theoretical outlooks, the need to reimagine and fundamentally transform human-nature relationships towards sustainability and co-existence remains relevant for the Nordic context in the future.
本文综述了北欧地区自然旅游的研究现状,从国际视角对其进行了探讨,并对未来的研究议程进行了展望。为此,我们分析了《斯堪的纳维亚酒店与旅游杂志》(Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism) 2010年至2020年期间关于自然旅游的论文,以及过去十年中代表国际学术的29本重要教科书。我们认为,越来越多的研究从供给侧关注以自然为基础的旅游,特别是关于目的地开发、生活方式创业和导游角色的研究。我们也注意到,许多研究问题是从实际需要出发提出的,而更多的理论导向的研究相当有限。国际上对新的、大胆的理论观点的呼吁,以及重新设想和从根本上改变人类与自然的关系,使其朝着可持续发展和共存的方向发展的需要,仍然与北欧未来的环境有关。
期刊介绍:
Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism is the leading Nordic journal for hospitality and tourism research. SJHT aims at initiating and stimulating high-impact and innovative research relevant for academics and practitioners within the hospitality and tourism industries. The journal takes an interdisciplinary approach including, but not limited to geography, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics. SJHT encourages research based on a variety of methods, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The journal covers all types of articles relevant to the Nordic region, as well as the North Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic regions. We also welcome reviews and conceptual articles with a broader geographical scope that clearly enhance the theoretical development of the hospitality and tourism field. In addition to research articles, we welcome research notes and book reviews. Published articles are the result of anonymous reviews by at least two referees chosen by the editors for their specialist knowledge.
