Bridging tourism and energy industry development in coastal-marine peripheries: The case of Bornholm, Denmark
This research note explores the bridging of local tourism content andimplementation of large green energy infrastructures in coastal-marine peripheries. The topic is an important one, not least given the speed at which both industries evolve and change, which also meansthat new challenges and opportunities arise that require urgent attention. Continuous knowledge creation that can be shared between the industries and among the affected peripheral communitiesthat frame the bridging of the two industries is therefore needed. This is particularly the case for Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea with a strong tourism tradition and profile but challenged by a new development of turning the island into one of the first community-based “energy islands” in the world. Based on a short literature overview and supported with opinions from local tourism andenergy representatives, the research note bases itself around this knowledge need and uses the situation on Bornholm to confirm existing knowledge on the topic, but also uses the occasion to introducenew knowledge aspects that have not yet received attention in the literature. The research noteends by reflecting on and proposing further knowledge needs, including attention areas for future research.
