Abstract
The main criterion for writing this research is the spatial dimension that tourism takes in some cases. In particular, tourism activity in areas exposed to the Northern Lights, which already exists and tends to develop further through sustainable glamping accommodations in low-density areas, passes into the sphere of interest for this chapter. The aim is to document and make known these attractive sustainable businesses, as well as the common characteristics they share on the supply axis. The geographic restriction concerns six countries in the Arctic Circle that exhibit these characteristics. In a second year, conclusions are drawn from the comparative case study; the research questions designed are answered, and future perspectives are presented that are fully in line with the new external changes that have formed in recent years.
