The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and the growth of tourism in the northernmost county of Sweden, Norrbotten, has been evident in recent years. With this rapid growth within tourism in Norrbotten, a reflection arises of why tourism is increasing to this extent. Therefore, this study’s purpose was to get a better understanding of what the core of exclusiveness is for tourism in Norrbotten and how tourism can flourish and grow while keeping the place unique and exclusive. In order to fulfill this purpose, two research questions were stated as follows: “What features make tourism in Norrbotten exclusive?” and “How can tourism in Norrbotten grow without risking overcrowding?”.    To answer these questions, a frame of reference was established based on the previous literature within the subject. The study conducted a qualitative approach which allowed the authors to collect data through semi-structured interviews. The two interviews were conducted with two organizations located in Norrbotten County. Swedish Lapland and Pine Bay Lodge. By interviewing one person from each company, the authors received relevant information that gave a better understanding regarding the study. Thereafter, a comparison between frame of reference and the collected data could be done. The results suggested that it is of utmost importance to have a strategy regarding overcrowding. Furthermore, it could be stated that the nature and natural assets Norrbotten possess, is a key for success. Nevertheless, the importance of providing the tourist with excellent hospitality cannot be forgotten, as this creates an even higher feeling of exclusiveness. / Turism industrin är en av de snabbast växande industrierna i världen och tillväxten av turism i Sveriges nordligaste län, Norrbotten, har varit tydlig under de senaste åren. Detta skapar en nyfikenhet kring varför turismen i just Norrbotten har ökat i denna utsträckning. Därför var syftet med denna studie att få en djupare förståelse för vad kärnan inom turismen i Norrbotten är, samt hur turismen kan blomstra och växa samtidigt som platsen fortsätter vara unik och exklusiv. För att kunna besvara detta syfte tillämpades två forskningsfrågor; “Vilka faktorer gör turismen i Norrbotten exklusiv? samt “Hur kan turismen i Norrbotten växa utan att riskera att bli överbefolkat?”   För att kunna besvara dessa frågor framtogs en referensram som är baserad på tidigare vetenskaplig litteratur inom ämnet. Denna studie var av kvalitativ sort vilket bidrog till att författarna kunde samla in data genom semistrukturerade intervjuer av två företag. Intervjuerna hölls med en organisation och ett företag som är belägna i Norrbotten, nämligen Swedish Lapland och Brändökonferens & Fritidsby. Genom att intervjua dessa två företag kunde författarna samla in relevant information som var till stor hjälp för studien. Den insamlande data från intervjuerna jämfördes med teorierna i referensramen. Detta utgjorde grunden för resultatet och de slutsatser som kunde dras. Jämförelsen visade att det är ytterst viktigt att ha en strategisk plan för hur man ska hantera att platser kan bli överbefolkade i framtiden. En annan slutsats som också kunde dras var att naturen och de naturtillgångar som Norrbotten innehar är en viktig och avgörande faktor för turismen. Slutligen är det avgörande att förstå hur viktigt det är att erbjuda ett värdskap utöver det vanliga, eftersom detta skapar en ännu starkare känsla av exklusivitet.

This research study is based on the way COVID-19 has affected the tourism businessesof the northern Dalarna region, Sweden. Moreover, how they responded to the crisis andif this response involved reconsidering their way of selling their touristic products. WithCOVID-19 effectively suspending the operations of the tourism sector such as air travel,the positive implications for climate change mitigation have been noted. This led toseveral speculations by researchers about the tourism industry taking this moment toreconsider their way of operating. However, these speculated decisions the tourismindustry will take amidst COVID-19 remain unproven. Therefore, this study aims todetermine how COVID-19 has affected the tourism companies of Northern Dalarna.Moreover, how these effects relate to conscious responses regarding climate changemitigation. Ultimately, this study intends to identify the relationship between the impactsof the present crisis COVID-19 and the future crisis that is climate change through thelens of the interviewed businesses in Northern Dalarna that effectively represent thetourism industry.Semi-structured interviews were employed as the main method for data collection. Seveninterviews of a diverse range of tourism businesses were conducted. The findingsacquired from the interviews show how these businesses have successfully overcome theeffects of COVID-19 while remaining open. The study concludes with very diverseperceptions of climate change from the companies. Moreover, how these perceptionshave evolved since the onset of COVID-19. Nevertheless, these companies had acommon point where independently of their opinion about climate change, all of themtook some actions to mitigate it. It was found that, for the case of Dalarna, Sweden,COVID-19 did not result in a moment for tourism companies to transform theirbusinesses to focus more on climate change mitigation. Business proceeded as usual interms of climate change mitigation and in the presence of COVID-19.There are several hypothetical studies on this topic, however, very few empirical studieswere found. This research contributes by showing how COVID-19 was not a time toconsider climate change mitigation according to the interviewed companies of NorthernDalarna, Sweden but merely a moment for minor adaptions.

It is the plight of artists that they work hard in their artistic disciplines, but do not benefit to the equivalence of their efforts. There are many reasons for this. Crafters are dependent on a sound tourists industry. The study will be looking at some of the reasons and concems then try to provide what could be some answers and solutions. Art is generally thought of as the development of performance skills and or craft manufacturing within a small minority of youth or community performers, usually selected on the basis of talent and motivation. The research leading to this study has been to a large extent, motivated by the need for a more comprehensive and holistic concept This will lend itselfto a fuller exploitation and will have potential for assisting larger numbers of artists to achieve a wide range of educational outcomes in art administration, instrument manufacturing, actual artistic performance and craft production.

Tourism is one of the leading industries, in terms of international trading between countries. In addition to receipts received at destinations, international tourism has also generated US$211 billion in exports through international passenger transport services. The study is conducted in Isfahan, a city in center of Iran. The city is unique in its cultural heritage and archeology. It is one of Iran's oldest cities at more than 1,500 years of age. An important cultural and commercial center, Isfahan is Iran's third largest metropolitan area. Isfahan experiences an arid climate, like the rest of the Iranian plateau with low rainfall. Isfahan has a high capacity to attract international tourists to provide a better understanding of Iran’s history, culture, and natural environment to the world. Zayandeh Rud which means “life-giving River” is the largest Iranian plateau and the most important surface water in Isfahan. It starts from Zagros Mountains and ends in the Gavkhouni Swamp, a seasonal salt lake in the southeast of Isfahan. The catchment area has been affected by two drought periods within the last 15 years. Decreasing surface and groundwater availability has been accompanied by an increase in water withdrawal for irrigation, domestic uses, industry, and water transfers to neighboring provinces. This has led to severe ecological and social consequences. This study identifies the potentials of Isfahan in attracting international tourists and also evaluate the water crisis that the city faces. The research is based on qualitative method. The primary data is gathered through face to face and phone interviews and questionnaires. The results show some finding solutions to water crisis in Isfahan and some suggestions for improving tourism industry in the city.
