“…Some of these resorts such as Levi and Å re have developed into nationally and internationally renowned tourism destinations and form large aggregates of individual tourism operators providing diverse tourism activities and services. These resorts are important, and sometimes even crucial, parts of the local and regional economies (Nordin and Svensson, 2007;Tuulentie and Mettiäinen, 2007;Rusko et al, 2009).…”

This article reports the findings of a case study focusing on the role of climate change at the tourism destination level development and planning in a Finnish context. While the emergence of climate change in tourism is becoming more evident in strategies and development papers, the considerations and concrete actions of tourism stakeholders seem to be on a less established level. Interviews among tourism stakeholders in two Finnish winter tourism destinations suggest that destination-level activity related to climate change is still in its infancy, reactive by nature and dependent on individuals' ambitions. Nevertheless, the general development targets for allyear and sustainable tourism support the efforts to cope with changing climate.

“…viability through interactions (Brasile and Polese, 2010), and second, the many-to-many marketing approach that describes, analyses and utilizes network marketing techniques to show that suppliers, providers and customers interact in complex networks (Gummesson, 2006). The approaches identified two main perspectives: (i) the interactive perspective that views markets as networks wherein Araujo and Easton (1996) discovered structures and processes that are equally shared with marketing theories and (ii) the strategic network that takes a managerial approach (Rusko et al, 2009). With regard to the former, network defines the market as a borderless system.…”

This article launches a new framework, the Tourism Experience Network (TEN), which explores co‐creation of experiences. The TEN framework absorbs value as experience logic in tourism marketing. Its uniqueness illustrates structuring processes and includes consumers/tourists in the service management. A theoretical explorative technique based on literature was used to construct the TEN. It departures from interactive networks, new service paradigm and tourism marketing, and contributes to tourism experience theories. Inspiration from the Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) group was embraced to modify issues inherent from traditional networks—the ARA model. By linking this approach with experience, actors are defined as experience facilitators in tourism and networks. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…In tourism and tourism destinations, the stakeholders are especially important. For example, the role of the public sector and municipalities is significant in developing and planning cooperation within and between tourism destinations (Rusko, Kylä nen, & Saari, 2009;Kylä nen & Rusko, 2011). One suitable example is the case of Pyhä -Luosto.…”

This study focuses on the similarities and the differences of territorial brands and identities of two territorial case study examples which have cultures "in-between": Lapland and Kuusamo in Finland, and South Tyrol in Italy. Territorial brand and identity are popular and important themes generally in social sciences but less applied to tourism research. However, identity and brand have a significant role in the demand for goods and services of tourism. Stakeholders are important actors in territorial brand promotion. Therefore, also the public opinion and attitudes of tourists and "the common man" about territorial brand are of great importance. This study analyses, in this comparative case study, territorial brand identity in the context of tourism by using qualitative methods and especially discourse analysis on websites reflecting the general opinion of public about territorial brand. The results reveal different nuances and meanings of territorial brand in tourism. Two different emergent branding strategies have been noticed for tourism areas. On the one hand, in the case of Lapland and Kuusamo, hanging on to regional boundaries can restrict cooperation and slow down progress in tourism and regional development. On the other hand, in the case of South Tyrol, multicultural identity and features can be a source for attraction in the tourism business. This study, with its findings, encourages to study territorial identity in the tourism business and to launch a qualitative approach for this theme.
