NORDIC SYMPOSIUM 2009
Tourism and Hospitality – the Nordic Ways
18th Nordic Symposium in Tourism and Hospitality Research – Esbjerg,
NEW DATES! 22.-25. October 2009
Let’s
face it – the Nordic countries are not amongst the cheapest
destinations in the world, nor do we have the best weather or the
sunniest and sandiest beaches to offer. Still, tourists come in order
to experience our countries, scenic landscapes, gastronomy and,
especially, ’the locals’. Furthermore, we have an innovative tourism
industry that offers ’products’ as diverse as ice hotels, New Nordic
cooking, shopping, and Santa Claus, and an industry that continuously
tries to improve the variety of experience-scapes encountered by
visitors. Even more importantly, perhaps, all of the Nordic countries
have rural areas, for whom the ability to offer sustainable tourism
products and genuine hospitality is not just a matter of additional
income. Rather, such offers are critical for development and innovation
in these areas and hence, tourism and hospitality become critical in
the quest to make these areas attractive for tourists, business, and
residents.
At this 18th Nordic Symposium in Tourism and
Hospitality Research, we will direct focus towards the uniqueness of
Nordic tourism and hospitality. However, in order to do so, we hope to
draw on best practices from both the Nordic countries and from other
parts of the World – hence contributing to a better understanding of
destinations and areas that have to be excellent at providing
value-for-money experiences. Thus, our ambition is that the title of
this year’s conference ’Tourism and Hospitality – The Nordic Ways’
inspires the participants to learn from each other, so that the
conference will contribute to a better understanding of the strengths
and opportunities of Nordic tourism and hospitality as well as of other
destinations facing challenges equal to those that the Nordic countries
face.
