Five years on—Impact of social tourism research in Finland
这篇评论文章评估了芬兰社会旅游研究在发表五年后的影响，发现它有助于证明社会旅游的合理性，并影响了效果测量实践和产品开发，但社会发展和政治变化威胁了其未来。
This commentary article evaluates the impact of Finnish social tourism research five years after its publication. It demonstrates that the research has contributed to justifying the existence of social tourism, although such impacts are difficult to evaluate. The research has also influenced current effectiveness-measurement practices and contributed to the development of social tourism offerings. It highlights how university–industry collaboration can strengthen both the scientific quality and real-world relevance of research. However, despite scientific evidence of its effectiveness, societal development and shifting political priorities have jeopardized the future of Finnish social tourism.
