Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries on the planet. Our research focuses on recreational use, sustainability and the business aspect.
The tourism economy is growing strongly, and in Norway tourism is a pronounced political area of focus. With our natural advantages, tourism has great potential as a district industry. Norway's tourism strategy points to increased value creation and productivity, solid year-round businesses and qualitatively good experiences as three main goals. It is also a stated goal that nature-based tourism should be integrated into the management of protected areas. A multidisciplinary, research-based approach is crucial to realizing these goals.
