“…More precisely, the focus of experience design is on creating new experiences through a deliberate construction of the service circumstances to deepen the engagement and emotional links with users (Shedroff 2001;Pullman and Gross 2004). Metaphorically speaking, designer is a "teller of materially expressed stories" (Usenyuk 2008). Linking this quality with the industry for producing and consuming stories, tales and experiences, gave rise to a new professional field, i.e.…”

“…To rebalance the existing asymmetry between the content of tourism offerings and actual tourism resources of the Russian North, two modes of transforming resources into genuine tourist experiences with the aid of design -static and dynamic -are suggested here (Table 24.1) (terms by Usenyuk 2008).…”

This chapter discusses the potential of design research and education practice to contribute to Polar/Arctic tourism studies. With the geographical reference to the Russian Far North, it is explored what involves in being a human in severe environmental conditions, and what kind of design, clothing, dwelling, transportation it fosters. As a key argument, a perspective is developing of the arctic tourism as an embodied way of (short-term) living in the extreme environment. The discussion is continued by outlining the design approach to Arctic tourism development and based on existing variety of tourism resources in the Russian North two modes of their representation by design -static and dynamic -are suggested. Each mode is further illustrated with a case study of design projects conducted at the Arctic Design School, Yekaterinburg, Russia. To conclude, this chapter offers new ways of understanding and using design as a tool to respond to challenges and opportunities that today's Arctic uncovers not only for tourism, but also for other sectors of Arctic-based and oriented industry.

The attractiveness of the Arctic as a tourist destination has been growing. The growth is determined by a number of competitive advantages of the region in the eyes of foreign tourists. Along with higher income to those countries involved, mass tourism brings serious challenges in remote Arctic areas: increasing pollution through tourist traffic, risk of environmental damage because of accidents with cruise ships. One of the possible solutions to the coexistence between the exploration of Arctic tourist destinations and sustainable development is an innovation-driven growth. In the sensitive Arctic areas, traditional approaches to the development of tourism business are not applicable. Innovation approach represents a new concept of how tourism can at the same time bring economic benefits to remote and peripheral Arctic areas and ensure sustainable development of a fragile environment. The goal of this chapter is to define the categories of innovations applicable in Arctic tourism, including process, marketing, institutional, management, product, and service innovations.
