ABSTRACT

Second-home tourism is a prominent feature of Nordic tourism. This article reviews Nordic research on second-home tourism since 2000 and relates it to international trends within this field. Furthermore, it provides a short outline of future research needs and opportunities. The review indicates that Nordic second-home tourism research has been highly productive and influential. After being dominated by national overviews, research has more recently addressed issues such as environmental impacts, community tensions and displacement, internationalization, and planning. Indeed, with this, Nordic researchers have gained core positions in the international ecosystem of second-home research, and particularly Umeå University has developed into the epicenter of second-home research. Although the situation for Nordic second-home research has been strong, generational shifts imply a risk of discontinuation. However, a more nuanced view on the second-home phenomenon detects the varieties of second-home tourism and the multiple interconnections to other fields of research. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, second-home research can become a forerunner in understanding households’ new spatial–temporal arrangements, combining various homes and places.

摘要

第二故乡旅游是北欧旅游的一个突出特征。本文回顾了北欧自2000年以来对第二故乡旅游的研究，并将其与该领域的国际趋势相关联。此外，它提供了对未来研究需求和机遇的简短概述。审查表明，北欧的第二故乡旅游研究具有很高的生产力和影响力。在以国家概况为主导之后，最近的研究涉及环境影响，社区紧张局势和流离失所，国际化和规划等问题。的确，北欧研究人员已经在国际第二居所研究生态系统中获得了核心地位，尤其是于默奥大学已经发展成为第二居所研究的中心。尽管北欧第二居所研究的情况一直很强劲，世代转移意味着停职的风险。然而，对第二故乡现象的更细微的看法可以发现第二故乡旅游业的多样性以及与其他研究领域的多重联系。在COVID-19大流行的背景下，第二居所研究可以成为了解住户新的时空安排（结合各种住所和地点）的先驱。
