Lukuaika: 8 min.Why are more travellers engaging in country counting? A recent master’s thesis by Emma Felin shows that this trend is far more than a niche hobby. It offers a window into how travel, identity, and social media intertwine in today’s tourism culture.

Lukuaika: 7 min.Food systems and tourism are inherently interconnected, nearly a quarter of all tourism spending is on food. The challenges presented by today’s industrialised food systems call for new approaches. WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farming) is one such model. Working on organic farms provides travellers with meaningful experiences and fosters new relationships between humans and nature. This model challenges contemporary views of work, leisure, and expertise while promoting responsible tourism development.
