ism Employment in Nordic Countries Trends, Practices, and Opportunities
Tourism Employment in Nordic Countries “A great read that offers critical insights into a variety of issues relating to tourism employment. Human interactions are at the core of the tourism experience, and the importance of the people working in the tourism and hospitality industry cannot be overstated. This book tackles the key issues of tourism employment in the Nordic countries and is a must read for tourism professionals and decision makers, as well as tourism and hospitality students and academics. Certainly, an important contribution to the field of tourism.” —Guðrún Þóra Gunnarsdóttir, Director, The Icelandic Tourism Research Centre “Tourism Employment in Nordic Countries provides the first major overview of an agonizingly neglected topic in global tourism research. The editors collect a wide array of cases from all over the Nordic areas covering plentiful aspects of tourism employment and contributing important knowledge with significance far beyond the Nordic region. Although based on pre-Covid-19 experiences, the volume offers many insights that will help enable a recovery of the tourism industry into a righteous state.” —Dieter Müller, Professor of Human Geography, Umeå University, Sweden
