The article addresses the broader relationships between seaweed and algae as a marine resource, destination development, and sustainability. In many European countries, an industry around seaweed has emerged, ranging from high-end restaurants that provide their customers with local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients, to entrepreneurs offering "harvest your own seaweed"-tours. In this explorative study, we focus on different ways of experiencing this marine resource in a Swedish context, to better understand its economic and social potential. Taking a consumer perspective, we investigate through an online questionnaire and reviews from an online consumer-to-consumer travel-planning portal how seaweed and algae are validated. By exploring people's notions, the aim is to understand the potential and value of this marine resource better. Where is seaweed encountered and enjoyed? How is it used? What is experienced to be valuable about this resource? We identify possibilities for utilizing algae and seaweed in order to foster future business opportunities for local communities, as well as to integrate the resource more in our society. We show how algae and seaweed are experienced in diverse settings and dimensions, such as at home, while being a tourist, as part of everyday life, as a special treat, within nature, and as food.

“…The adoption of a practice-based perspective on tourism collaboration may contribute to clarifying one possible way of interpreting co-creation. Phi and Dredge (2019) observed that the use of the term co-creation is relatively diffuse in the literature. Moreover, they observe that sometimes this use is quite abstract and superficial.…”

“…Practice is understood as a combination of reflecting and doing, and the term CoP is used to indicate a group of people who learn how to engage in an activity on the basis of a common vision and sense of responsibility, and who share ideas and experiences (Wenger, 1998). Recently, Phi and Dredge (2019) have proposed that tourism collaboration be understood as a value co-creation process that is dynamic, inclusive and democratic, characterised by a shared sense of responsibility and the emergence of shared value. These characteristics are reminiscent of the aforementioned aspects of the practice-based CoP approach, which we therefore consider appropriate for use to investigate the sustainability challenges that communities are called on to face together.…”

In this study, we considered tourism collaboration for sustainable development as a co-creative practice of learning about tourism in order to achieve benefits for local communities. We focused on projects run by non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) and the challenges relating to their long-term impact. These challenges concern the projects' potential to facilitate the emergence and/or reinforcement of local learning communities. The study was conducted by an academic and a representative of the NGDO that constituted the empirical case. The empirical investigation was based on a variety of data sources and explored both the NGDO's strategic approach to collaboration and the experience gained from two projects. We identified factors that can be crucially important for the promotion of collaboration driven by local actors and extending beyond the limited time horizon of the NGDOs' projects. The paper contributes to the literature by adopting the concepts of co-creative practices and communities of practice (CoPs) to study collaboration, elucidating the evolving linkages connecting CoP constellations in learning communities. The study also presents some reflections on collaborative research with non-academics as a useful way of promoting plurality, depth and reflexivity.

“…It is beyond the scope of this study to further discuss co-creation, suffice here to note that notions of co-creation can be critically opened up and viewed as a broad label for series of collaborative practices in tourism scholarship (see e.g. García-Rosell et al, 2019;Phi & Dredge, 2019).…”
