- Jämtland in Northern Sweden is one of the most tourism and eventintense regions in the country. The rise in volume of events in alpine and subarctic nature environments, and the subsequent increase in participants, requires closer scrutiny of the environmental impacts.The region is characterised by mountains, forests and a sensitive ecological environment, and shared by several land users. With this study, we aim to gain in-depth knowledge of how environmental impacts are understood and valued in the regional assessment process for nature-based events and organised outdoor recreation.We analyse permit documents from the County Administrative Board of Jämtland from 2011 to 2020. The results show that most events were approved, and none were rejected solely due to environmental concerns. Assessments were instead balanced against other considerations, such as local development and economic gains. We argue that these priorities make nature a commercial arena for events, visitors and recreationists. This paper sheds light on human use and the associated environmental effects that further increase the pressure on nature. We end with managerial implications and propose that the permit process can be improved and integrated into spatial planning.

- Co-creation between public actors across organisational borders and hierarchies, as well as between public, private, civic, and academic stakeholders has become norm and an ideological tool in tourism research and management. As co-creation entails issues of power and accountability, it is a political act, and some entities, not least certain public actors, have the ability to affect the agency of others. This paper concerns the lack of policy and academic debates on who participates and how the diversity of actors are involved in tourism co-creation. The purpose is to critically explore the agency and relationships involved in multilevel co-creation for tourism development. We specifically point to agency connected to people’s different positionalities and preconditions for participating, and how the ways that people practise agency affect relational work. We use an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, integrating tourism literature on co-creation with critical tourism and diversity studies, and a case of multi-level co-creation for inclusive tourism development in a Swedish municipality. Through the study, the who in co-creation is widened, and the how expands into suggestions for just inclusion of minorities. Ensuring in-depth understanding of abstract concepts such as diversity, inclusion and multiculturalism is essential to follow policies for co-creation with action.

- Tourist research on life in "The Experience Economy" has led to a focus oil the eventful cold dramatic, on ways of packaging and marketing "great experiences" that turn a heritage into all event, a city into desires, a museum into all adventure. There is a lot of talk about the production of great atmospheres and exciting events, but tourist life is of course full of non-events, indifferent or bad experiences. This paper looks at such situations. How do tourists experience waiting for a delayed flight, daydreaming on the beach or finding the promised great experiences disappointing or just boring? What happens when tourists are doing nothing or just experience "the same old thing"?
