Antarctic Tourism

During the investigation into the future of Antarctic tourism and New Zealand'S role, abundant literature was found which covered the historical record of human activity in the Antarctic, and the advent of people arriving in the Antarctic for the sole purpose of tourism. There was less information available on the history of New Zealand's involvement in Antarctic tourism. Generally, any information would be referred to within the context of work based on another research area Or in reference to the danger Of tourist activity in the Antarctic, especially the Mount Erebus crash. A number of articles available on Antarctic tourism are beginning to research the status of tourism to the Ross Sea Region, which is administered by New Zealand, and has become the second most popular tourist destination in Antarctica. As will be shown below, there is limited literature available on the future of New Zealand in Antarctic tourism.
