Tourism and Arctic Observation Systems: exploring the relationships
The Arctic is affected by global environmental change and also by diverse interests from many economic sectors and industries. Over the last decade, various actors have attempted to explore the options for setting up integrated andcomprehensive trans-boundary systems formonitoringandobserving these...
