The cruise industry has experienced constant growth over the last
decades. With reduced barriers to entry, remote destinations have
become common cruise destinations. So have the Antarctica and the
Arctic region. The Polar Regions are particularly vulnerable to
human and technical disturbance due to their sensitive ecosystems
and susceptible cultural heritage. This work puts emphasis on the
issue of sustainable cruise tourism in the Arctic region,
especially Greenland, in order to become a long-life cruise and
tourism destination. The work aims at displaying positive as well
as negative impacts on Greenland's economy, society and culture,
and on the environment and what consequences on the mentioned
issues may arise with increasing cruise traffic. The nation's
current cruise and tourism industry is illuminated within a case
study of two cruise destinations in South Greenland. Along with
research work on sustainability and destination management insight
into the country's present cruise industry and their impacts is
offered which might raise awareness for increased consciousness on
the sustainability need.
