Abstract
Although the goal of this book was not to pursue a distinct research question but rather illustrate the multitude of thematic issues that are currently being investigated in the polar Norths, two topics, the governance of ecological resources and the ways in which polar communities manage to create agency through various development strategies, emerged throughout the book. In order to illustrate this agency, the content of this book has been divided into three parts: conceptualizing polar tourism and polar regions, politics and the environment, and business and community perspectives, thus without a separation between Arctic and Antarctic research. In this concluding chapter, a summary of the issues in polar tourism highlighted in this book is made, and a comment on the current state of the research field is offered, with some suggestions for future research.
