Abstract [en]

Nature-based attractions in the Swedish mountains, as in other similar areas in the Nordic and Arctic countries, have experienced a rapid growth in visitors, causing enhanced environmental damage, crowding, and pressure on infrastructure, resources, residents, and other land-users. Increased nature-based tourism creates a range of challenges leading to a need to balance benefits and challenges of tourism on communities and nature. This chapter aims to raise contemporary tourism governance challenges in the Swedish subarctic mountains by providing examples of conflicts of interests and different goals and agendas grounded in recent changes. Based on empirical material from interviews and stakeholder meetings, the chapter highlights the existing multi-actor complexity, implications of changing visitor patterns, and tourism impacts and responsibilities in governing those impacts. We end by discussing sustainability priorities, the public sector’s role in tourism development, strategic planning, collaboration, and responsibilities facing subarctic mountain communities.
