Abstract

This report focuses on different forms of tourist attraction of the Sami indigenous people in the city Tromsø/Norway, such as identity marks and maintenance of traditions. The general objective is to analyse signs as symbolic elements of the Sami people, showing their potential for indigenous ethnic tourism. We conducted a survey of tourist attractions, and verified how this service is provided for tourists. This study uses as methodological and theorical perspective that is exploratory in nature, according to Husserl’s phenomenology (2001), with strategies of ethnography (MATTOS, 2011) and Peirce’s semiotics (2011). This research took place in Tromsø/Norway city, which is located 350 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle and is home to the Sami people. The techniques of interlocution with those involved resulted in field annotations, and the techniques of participant observation, open-ended interview, pictures and audio recordings with ten participants were also used. Besides the interviews, documents were studied, such as Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Sami legislation. It was observed, as a result of this research, that the city of Tromsø in Norway has evident tourist potential through the culture of the Sami people. The tourist attractions are varied, such as watching the Northern Lights, reindeer herding, and listening to stories of ancestry closely connected to nature, in a dialogic relationship between cultural tradition and science. It was also found that these tourist attractions are carried out responsibly, with sustainability in mind.

通过旅游探索SÁMI人的文化:挪威特罗姆瑟市的体验

本报告的重点是挪威特罗姆瑟市萨米土著人民的不同形式的旅游吸引力，如身份标志和传统的维护。总的目标是分析标志作为萨米人的象征元素，显示其对土著民族旅游的潜力。我们对旅游景点进行了调查，并验证了为游客提供这项服务的情况。本研究采用胡塞尔的现象学(2001)、民族志(MATTOS, 2011)和皮尔斯的符号学(2011)作为方法论和理论的探索性视角。这项研究是在挪威特罗姆瑟市进行的，它位于北极圈以北350公里处，是萨米人的家园。访谈法采用现场注释法，参与观察法、开放式访谈法、10人录音法。除了面谈之外，还研究了文件，例如国际劳工组织(劳工组织)第169号公约和萨米立法。根据这项研究，挪威特罗姆瑟市通过萨米人的文化具有明显的旅游潜力。在文化传统和科学之间的对话关系中，旅游景点多种多样，例如观看北极光，驯鹿放牧，倾听与自然密切相关的祖先故事。研究还发现，这些旅游景点的运营是负责任的，并考虑到可持续性。Aceito 01/Dez/2020 Publicado 31/Ago/2021博士候选人(Dinter UNIVALI/UEA) jcarvalho@uea.edu.br b博士和旅游与酒店管理研究生课程(UNIVALI)的教学研究员DOI: https://doi.org/10.14210/at.v6n2.p42-48©2021 autores。Publicado por Univali Esse artigo de live access so a licensea
