Sustainability and Precious Care in Tourism Lifestyle Enterprise : TEFI10 Conference 3-6 June 2018 Pyhätunturi, Finland
(2018) p.73-77- Abstract

Lifestyle enterprise seems to offer an anti-modernist creed of care. The lifestyle preference for smallness and localness offers promise for sustainability, but the lifestyle is hard to sustain in modernity. In this context, the caring is both precious and precarious. This paper will qualitatively examine six cases of tourism lifestyle enterprise, contemplating the preciousness and precariousness of caring as a balm for the destructive carelessness to nature in modernity.
