About the conference
Each year, NORTHORS organizes the Nordic Symposium on Tourism and Hospitality Research. The Nordic countries take turns hosting the conference, which typically attracts 150–200 delegates from across the Nordic region and beyond.
The aim of the Nordic Society for Tourism and Hospitality Research (NORTHORS) is to provide a platform for academic debate and development in the field of tourism and hospitality in the Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – and surrounding areas, seen in a wider European and global context. The society has more than 500 members and focuses on the development of tourism and hospitality research and research training. Beyond the promotion of collaboration between the Nordic partners, NORTHORS also has an international orientation. It aims at making the Nordic research visible in the international arena and encourages international participation on the symposiums and other events organized by NORTHORS.
NORTHORS is associated with the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism and encourages network members to subscribe to the journal. The journal is an English-language journal addressing the field of tourism and hospitality in an international perspective. It deals with conceptual as well as empirical research. The journal aims at stimulating discussions among the academic community, managers and decision makers in the public and private sector. Beyond research articles and book reviews the journal consists of debating and commenting contributions on relevant issues in the tourism and hospitality research field. The Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality is published by Routledge four times annually.

We encourage scholars working on Arctic and northern tourism topics to submit session proposals and papers to NS34, which may open up opportunities for special issues in ArcTour.
ArcTour is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published exclusively online. The journal is freely accessible to readers, and no publication fees or article processing charges (APCs) apply for authors.
