Acknowledgements
It has been a great pleasure to prepare this special issue, not least because of the communications I have had with the many contributors: authors, reviewers and the very helpful people of the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism. I would particularly like to express my gratitude to Dr Trude Furunes for her great efforts and to the editors for their enthusiastic support of the project. Mostly however I am grateful to the authors who contributed their papers.
