Abstract

This chapter will address questions of what polar tourism is and how it has been researched. These questions serve to allow the field to look back upon its research and reflect. However, looking back is not enough. Within a group such as the International Polar Tourism Research Network (IPRTN), we must also attempt to venture forward and ask: how should polar tourism be researched? On the surface these questions seem simple, but when one dives deeper, there is considerable complexity to consider. This chapter will put such questions in context by offering expert reflection on them from three perspectives: academic, community, and industry. This will be done within a geographical scope of both poles and across decades of work. While one can never expect to capture absolutely everything about these questions, this chapter will hopefully contribute to an ongoing conversation of research practices and research relevance moving into the future.
