“…In the case of Finnish Lakeland showed that rural roots, kinship and cottage inheritance affect second home locations and distribution. Müller (2004Müller ( , 2006 points out that even though second home tourism is a very regional form of tourism and most second homes are located within the weekend leisure space, there are also highly attractive areas, "hot spots" in mountain and coastal regions attracting second home owners from further distances. Moreover, the current trends of second home tourism include purchasing of multiple second homes in divergent locations, not just in domestic ground but increasingly transnational too (Haldrup 2009;Paris 2010).…”

Rehunen (2014). Second home mobility in Finland: Patterns, practices and relations of leisure oriented mobile lifestyle. Fennia 192: 1, pp. 1-22. ISSN 1798-5617.The paper focuses on leisure oriented mobile lifestyle between urban home and rural second home in Finland which is one of the world's leading countries in terms of second home ownership and tourism. Spatial patterns and social practices of physical mobility related to second home use are revealed by using triangulation of research methods and data. Analysis is based on GIS data, questionnaire survey results and national statistics. A relational approach is applied to conceptualise and contextualise second home mobility which is influenced by many bio-physical and socio-cultural processes and changes. Relational elements and processes interlinked to past, present and future of second home related physical mobility are identified. Natural amenities form the physical geographical basis for rural second home distribution which correlates with length of shoreline, distance to urban areas and local land use in second home environments. Second home related spatial mobility patterns differ and depend on size of the urban region of origin. Helsinki metropolitan dwellers have the longest trips to second homes which is explained not merely by environmental but by historical, societal and social reasons as well. Second home related social mobility practices are dependent on cottage owners' and users' life phase and standard of second homes. Retiring baby boom generation is the largest and most active cottager group and after retirement the use of second homes increases remarkably. The vast majority of second home owners and users travel the cottage trips by private cars and wish to spend at least as much time at rural second home as present. However, they do not intend to give up the urban home which leads to the conclusion that leisure related lifestyle mobility in between urban and rural living environments will continue to characterise second home owners' and users' way of life.

“…Concomitantly there has been a rapid growth in ownership of second homes in rural locations (Müller & Hall, 2004;Pitkänen & Vepsäläinen, 2008) Although the same change has not been replicated in exactly the same way in the Nordic countries (MacDonald et al, 2000), where market interplay between the member countries has retained independent strength in the agricultural sector (although for Norway and Iceland, as signatories to the European Economic Council agricultural agreement, many of the pressures are the same as for other European Union member states), there has nonetheless been a massive migration from rural to urban areas in many of the Nordic member counties. This has been most apparent in Sweden and Iceland (Lundholm, Garvill, Malmberg, & Westin, 2004).…”

Image, brand narrative and stakeholder collaboration each represent pivotal paradigms in the analysis, evaluation and formation of good management practice for festivals. The role of the media as significant intermediary offers a core measurement instrument linking these paradigms. This exploratory work applies a two-stage empirical study to investigate and posit a methodological procedure for this instrument. A principal component analysis of data relating to the scales of significance given by festival visitors and festival directors, respectively, to the sociocultural effects of festivals indicates that both the local media and national media are strong elements in the emerging factors. A further media framing methodology is provided to assess variations in the role of newspapers (a medium identified as particularly significant in the decision making process of festival goers) in converging agendas which may influence and vary the public perception of the socio-cultural influences of festivals. The authors conclude that these agendas are affiliated and can 2 be measured with reference to the factors that emerged in the principal component analysis.

“…Second home owners living more or less permanently in their second homes are new ''locals'' that are not personally involved in traditional rural industries like farming or forestry, even though their residence status might indicate such involvement. The emergence of these new locals is often seen as positive, supporting local private and public services and providing employment opportunities in rural areas (Mü ller & Hall, 2004;Sandell, 2006). In particular, the growing quantity of retirees in the Western world with disposable spare time and consuming power have been seen as an important factor in certain destinations.…”

Second homes have been interpreted as a significant indicator of the development of new patterns of mobility and dwelling in Western countries. However, changes in population distribution, population composition, family structures and tourism preferences pose a reason to challenge the general assumption that second home tourism would continue unchanged in the future. This paper reviews representations of the future of second home tourism in the Finnish media and policy discourse. Mainstream trends and emerging weak signals are recognized and further analysed in reference to the international context. As a result of the analysis four distinctive themes related to the future of second home tourism are distinguished: dual dwelling, internationalization, alternative forms and regional differentiation. These themes suggest a change in the traditional Finnish second home culture, often portrayed as a personal and national utopia. With the exception of dual dwelling, all the themes have so far been overlooked in the official policy discourse. The paper addresses a new theme in Finnish as well as international second home literature as so far only little has been published on the long term future of second home tourism.
