“…Inclusion and participation are much discussed ethical principles in the context of tourism policy making, planning and development, and yet are not necessarily taking place in practice. Local people should be able to participate in or, better, have control over planning and decision-making that affect their lives (e.g., Buzinde & Caterina-Knorr, 2022;Höckert et al, 2021). Or, as Höckert et al (2021) propose, they should be able to participate in their own development as hosts, and, importantly, also have the possibility to stay outside tourism development if they want to.…”

Drawing on a Levinasian care ethic, Höckert et al (2021) suggest that tourism development should be based on openness to different participants and reciprocal care of each other's well-being.…”

“…The local tourism stakeholders participating in our kick-off webinar, survey and workshop saw a need for strong collaboration between businesses and communities engaged in ethical tourism recovery which could include knowledge sharing, joint packages and product development for mutual benefit (Macaulay et al, 2022). This pillar implies an ethic of care (see Höckert et al, 2021), fostering inclusion, participation, recognition, and procedural and distributive justice (see Buzinde & Caterina-Knorr, 2022;Rastegar et al, 2021).…”

“…Taking into consideration visitors' growing interest in ethical tourism, products should be developed and marketed proactively through local collaborations between businesses and communities. To share the financial benefits of tourism to multiple locations, and ease the burden on the most visited sites, alternative routes and places should be promoted for visitors (Macaulay et al, 2022) thus fostering inclusion, participation and distributional justice (see Höckert et al, 2021;Rastegar et al, 2021).…”

Unsustainable tourism growth prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and disruption of tourism caused by its outbreak, together with the global environmental crisis and different global and local injustices, have raised debates on what tourism should be like in the future. A more ethical tourism sector post-recovery has become a topical issue for strategy making in post-pandemic tourism. In this research note, we tie together local stakeholder views on ethical tourism recovery in northern peripheries, a review of current tourism strategies in the area and relevant literature to add to the debate regarding ethical tourism recovery in the region. Our findings show that the local stakeholders participating in our research saw need for more inclusive and participatory community-centred tourism planning and development than most of the reviewed tourism strategies, which were mainly following neoliberal utilitarian ethics. Ethics should be explicitly referenced and discussed in tourism planning and policy making and form an integral part of tourism strategies, and further research is needed to support this transition.

Unfinished indigenous geographies: The endurances and becomings of a Sámi tourism venture

For many years, and within the context of pre-pandemic tourism growth in the Norwegian Arctic, governmental institutions have had expectations that Sámi indigenous people of the north of Norway should engage more strongly in the tourism economy. What does it however imply for Sámi people to become agents in tourism and take ownership to tourism development? This paper attends to Sámi people who engage as entrepreneurs in tourism in Norwegian parts of Sápmi. We suggest ways to identify when and how indigeneity emerges as a topic and meaning dimension that makes a difference in the entrepreneurship process and discuss how Sáminess can mark the process in ambiguous ways. The current paper’s exploration is enabled by a qualitative co-creative study and detailed account of a Sámi tourism venture in a coastal town in Finnmark, Norway. The paper attends to the venture as part of the entrepreneurs’ life stories, everyday life, and material relational practices and explores the intrinsic geographies and histories to which their various relational practices connect the enterprise. Sámi entrepreneurships in tourism are considered in light of the unstable and changing ethnic qualities of places, through an approach that acknowledges the current transformative complexities of indigeneity. The analysis illuminates tourism entrepreneurs’ engagements in indigenously transgressive enactments of places and of Sámi culture and tells about vitalities and vulnerabilities involved in becoming indigenous agents in Arctic destinations.
