The Finnish Society for Tourism Research was established in spring 2004. The aim of the activities is to enhance multidisciplinary research in tourism and leisure studies, and to increase interest in and appreciation for these fields of research. The Society implements its aims by
- organising meetings and other events within its sphere of interest
- keeping in touch with national and international research organisations
- giving grants for research within tourism and leisure
- publishing research in the given fields
Membership in the Society is open for persons or legal communities doing research in tourism and leisure, or those studying, utilising and enhancing it. Membership applications are to be sent by email to Secretary of the Society, at matkailututkimuksenseura [at] gmail.com. She/he will forward the applications to the Board for acceptance. Membership fee is agreed on in the annual fall meeting of the Society. At the moment it is 40 € (25 € for student members (bachelor and master level)).
