- Residing with the exponential growth of gastronomy tourism research, a number of review articles have examined the relationship of gastronomy and tourism from distinct thematic and disciplinary perspectives. What remains absent is a comprehensive overview that encapsulates the interdisciplinary dimensions of this area of research. In response, this study comprehensively investigates gastronomy tourism literature utilizing a network and content analysis, with an aim to map the main subject areas concerned with gastronomy tourism and relations between varying subject areas. In doing so, themes determining gastronomy tourism and focus for future exploration are identified. The review findings suggest that the trajectory of gastronomy tourism research is characterized by the dominance of "tourism, leisure, and hospitality management" and "geography, planning, and development." Three recommendations are proposed to assist development of gastronomy tourism research: increased dialogue across subject areas, development of critical and theoretical approaches, and greater engagement with sustainability debates.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter introduces the SAINT project and the slow adventure concept. The core pillars of the ‘slow adventure’ brand include elements such as human-powered slow journeys, inspiring connectedness with nature, wildlife watching opportunities, nature interpretation, local, wild or slow food as well as the honing of outdoor skills. These core pillars (or themes) are highly relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the SAINT project and constitute the essence of ‘slow adventure’ as a product concept. Typical nature-based activities available across the project area include expeditions into nature, overnight stays combined with nature experiences, wildlife viewing, hiking, recreational kayaking, canoeing and rowing, outdoor photography, as well as slow cooking and foraging. Most importantly, the ‘slow adventure’ product concept shapes the marketing message of the transnational cluster and brand, which companies can use to develop their product and reach the market. The chapter concludes by discussing the implications of these marketing and cluster activities within the Nordic tourism context.

Building the slow adventure brand in the northern periphery
- 2018

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Slow Adventure in Northern Territories (SAINT)1 project was designed to improve the promotion of slow adventure activities, extend the marketing reach of SMEs that deliver slow adventure experiences, and advance the development of a trans-national slow adventure brand. SAINT was a three-year effort (2015-2018) that was co-financed by the EU Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme and included 11 different partners located in 7 countries of Northern Europe (Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, and Sweden). The project draws directly from Semple and Varley’s (2015) concept of slow adventure, which is partially rooted in Nordic concepts of sustainable outdoor recreation (e.g., friluftsliv). The core pillars of the slow adventure brand include such elements of sustainable tourism as human-powered slow journeys, inspiring connectedness with nature, wildlife watching opportunities, nature interpretation, local, wild or slow food as well as the honing of outdoor skills. These core pillars (or themes) were highly relevant to SMEs involved in the SAINT project and constituted the essence of slow adventure as a product concept.In our contribution we introduce the SAINT project and the slow adventure concept, followed by reporting on the empirical component of the project, which included a survey among the providers, as well as implementation case studies in each of the participating countries. Results from the survey and case studies provide insight into the ways that SME ́s form clusters in order to market and deliver a full range of slow adventure experiences, and ultimately, build the slow adventure brand. We conclude by discussing the implications of these marketing and cluster activities within the Nordic tourism context. Our paper is based on the chapter contribution to an upcoming book by Cassinger, C., Lucarelli, A. & Gyimóthy, Sz. (Eds.). The Nordic Wave in Place Branding. Edward Elgar.

Tourism non-places : Bending airports and wildscapes
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Annals of Tourism Research. - : Elsevier. - 0160-7383 .- 1873-7722. ; 80
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper takes Auge's non-place idea as point of departure to develop a deeper phenomenological understanding of two types of tourism settings: wild spaces and airports. While place and non-place are useful as comparative, polarized concepts addressing materialities and subjective experiences, asking what these particular spaces are like sheds light on both their bendability and boundedness, revealing the potential of intentionality in liberating place experiences. While intentionality has not yet received much attention in industry or scholarly discussions of tourism, it is absolutely crucial to the experience of tourism, as our findings elaborate on the ways travellers accede to and consume (non-) places, as well as negotiate, conquer and extemporise them.
