There are reasons to believe that we soon will see numerous Asian tourists in the Arctic again. Asian Mobilities Consumption in a Changing Arctic brings many of the leading researchers in Arctic tourism together to provide a varied and interesting state of the art view of the phenomenon. It provides a rich reference source for the tourism industry, researchers and students in the field. Anne Husebekk, Rector (University President), UiT The Arctic University of Norway The book represents a timely, interesting, and important investigation of Asian mobilities. The terms Arctic, conspicuous mobilities, consumption, sustainability, politics, and urbanisation appear to be at odds with each other at first glance. However, the discussion sets the foundation for a multitude of exciting research agenda and provides a fresh perspective for practitioners. Not only is this a reference book for researchers, practitioners should benefit tremendously from the insights presented. Cathy H.C. Hsu, Professor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, PRC.
