Description

While the diverse environmental changes have been seen globally in recent years, the purpose of this joint research is to extract issues for the appropriate Arctic tourism development with a view of improving community resilience that is expected to respond to those global changes. In this context, therefore, this research adopted a framework of Adventure tourism (AT), which has been actively discussed in the Arctic in these days and also has the latest trend of indigenous people’s perspective on nature. And then we conducted a basic comparative analysis based on some hearing surveys in the Inari region in Finish Lapland and the Akan region in Hokkaido, Japan. Although their histories and backgrounds of regional tourism development are different, the common significant issues that belong to each of the eight issue categories for the Arctic tourism development revealed in the first year of this research were extracted. Furthermore, we extracted these issues from the perspectives of community, natural environment in region, and indigenous culture as the result of comprehensive analysis of both region’s endeavors and possibility of attracting AT customers with their remarkable characteristics.
