Goals
We work to preserve our heritage
To care for our natural surroundings
Our way of life
And our guests
We want our region to be a “green destination” based on nature and culture
friendly tourism. We intend to apply measures to prevent this attractive and
vulnerable part of Lofoten from becoming a burned out destination in a few years
time. The future of the Lofoten Islands as a tourist destination involves
preserving, and concentrating on, the “authentic and the unique.” With the
sustainable use of nature, culture and human resources, we will be in a position
to develop a competitive, strong and profitable all-year-round tourist industry.
"We choose our own guests".
Our nature, culture and character are becoming increasingly attractive.
Activities, educational pursuits, health programmes and holiday adventures based
on “the pure, the delightful, the unique, the authentic and the original” are
becoming ever more in demand among tourists. The safeguarding of the environment
and local integrity, then, is a factor that corresponds nicely with demands on
the market. We take this into account in the development of “our tourist
product” - the one that we offer to “our guests.”
We think and act on a long-term basis:
-
Local
communities should control local developments themselves
-
We seek
to ensure local control over our region’s resources
-
We seek
to avoid the danger of over-dependency on the tourist market
-
Tourism
should contribute towards the strengthening of the fisheries, agriculture and
other industries
