Summary

Abstract:
This project aims at understanding how Aboriginal tourism can contribute to the well being of northern communities, preserve and enhance their traditional cultures, sustain their natural resources, and help community members face the challenges of climate change and economic dependency. It is based on the hypothesis that northern communities in different geographic regions face comparable challenges and that a comparative analysis between such communities will provide new insights on the possible ways to face them. For this, we selected 2 communities, the Inuit Inland Caribou from Baker Lake in Nunavut and the Sami Reindeer Herder of Övre Soppero of Northern Sweden that share a traditional livelihood based on the same species Rangifer tarandus and similar challenges despite the differences in their ecological and socio-economic context. Collaborative research and social action tools are being used to bridge scientific and community based knowledge to explore future scenarios and models and nurture an Arctic aboriginal ecotourism network of practitioners.

Description: www.aboriginal-ecotourism.org The ECOTRAD project has a specific home page incorporated in the Aboriginal Ecotourism web site. The AE web site is a collaborative research project connecting 200 aboriginal tourism initiatives from around the world so that they can exchange information and the many lessons learned, as well as to promote them as tourist destinations. The site website was created using a Content Management System and incorporating a variety of integrated technologies such as Google Maps , web-based survey, forums of discussion.

To facilitate the exchange of experiences, participants produced quality indicators in three important areas: biodiversity, e-marketing and technological tools. |
