Coolcation, DMO, Aumento de las temperaturas globales, Destinos nórdicos, Marco de interpretaciónResumen
El clima tiene un impacto significativo en el turismo, ya que influye en la elección de destinos y actividades. A medida que aumentan las temperaturas globales, los climas más frescos se están convirtiendo en alternativas atractivas, lo que ha dado lugar a la tendencia de las «vacaciones frescas», que aborda los retos del cambio climático. El objetivo es explorar y definir el nuevo término «coolcation», identificando sus características, implicaciones y posible impacto en la industria turística a través de un diseño de investigación cualitativa. Este estudio explora cómo las organizaciones de marketing de destinos (DMO) de diferentes destinos nórdicos interpretan el concepto de coolcation. El método principal de recopilación de datos consistirá en entrevistas semiestructuradas con representantes de las organizaciones de gestión de destinos (DMO) de destinos nórdicos. El auge de las coolcation presenta tanto oportunidades como retos. Abre nuevas vías para el turismo en climas más fríos, lo que podría impulsar las economías locales. Por otro lado, puede ejercer presión sobre las infraestructuras locales y los recursos naturales. Por esta razón, las DMO coinciden en que es fundamental promover prácticas turísticas responsables para garantizar la sostenibilidad de estos destinos.
