    Description

    Panel debate: Sustainable tourism from different perspectives – highlights from four research projects

    In 2018, for the first time in Swedish history, the Swedish Research Council Formas launched an ambitious four-year funding opportunity for research on sustainable tourism and the hospitality industry. Four unique projects were granted funding to generate knowledge on climate change, tourism’s role for inclusion in multicultural societies, overtourism, and tourism development in times of mobility and immobility.

    In a panel discussion, researchers from the four projects share and discuss key results, challenges faced, and opportunities ahead. The panel will start with brief presentations of each project. Four questions will then guide the discussion. The panel will also be open for questions and interaction with the audience.
    1. What are unique theoretical, empirical or methodological insights from the projects?
    2. What is needed to continue the process towards sustainable tourism, in research
    and practice?
    3. What do you see as important areas for further research in tourism and hospitality?
    4. What impact did the pandemic have on the projects? Did it trigger innovation?
