Abstract

This chapter makes a case for the examination of tourism employment in a Nordic context. It briefly outlines the policy relevance of tourism employment before describing how Nordic countries share labour market characteristics and policy contexts, while also drawing attention to differences. Brief reviews of tourism and tourism employment relating to the five Nordic countries are offered before the structure of the book is outlined.

Nächstes Kapitel Guides on a Crossroad: Between Deregulation and Entrepreneurship

We cross-checked data with data from the World Tourism Organisation for Denmark given the remarkable growth in inbound tourism between 2004 and 2006 where this growth was confirmed. We presume part of this growth may be down to measurement issues. We also note that care should be taken when comparing data across nations given data collection methods—as a guide though these figures are instructive.
