Hospitality in Wild Places
Published: Jun 01, 2018 by Hospitality & Society
Authors: Peter Varley, Jelena Farkic, Sandro Carnicelli
We contribute to the hospitality work research agenda by reconsidering the role of outdoor adventure guides as agents of hospitality, set against a conceptual backdrop of deepening ontological insecurity in industrialized societies. We argue that the concepts of dwelling, communitas and hygge have much to offer in the delivery of outdoor hospitality in general, and in outdoor adventure tourism scenarios in particular.
