Kaarina Tervo-Kankare

I work as a senior lecturer in geography research unit and hold the title of a docent in tourism research (Arctic tourism and changing environment) from University of Lapland. Nature-based tourism, especially in northern environments is my strongest expertise area.

In research, I have focused on studying the multifaceted relationship between tourism and climate change/global environmental change. My research closely deals with sustainability and so called responsible tourism and their development. I am also interested in tourism and regional development, accessible tourism and tourism geographies and their pedagogy.
