Together Towards Better Places to Live and Visit
As the Nordic countries, we are united by a shared commitment to environmental conservation, social equity, and economic sustainability. These common values are reflected in our policies and practices, which aim to minimize the ecological footprint of tourism while maximizing its benefits for local communities.
By working together, the Nordic countries can leverage their collective expertise and experiences to develop innovative solutions that address shared challenges in the tourism sector.
Enhancing Responsible Tourism in the Nordic Countries – Best Practices from Industry and Academia is a webinar organized through Nordic cooperation. It brings together professionals, researchers, and students to exchange knowledge and inspire action toward more responsible tourism.
