ourism is a big and growing business all over the world. In recent decades, Norway
promotes tourism in general and ecotourism in particular, as a product, as well as the
improvement of quality and the development of tourism. Norway is more goal-directed to
promote not just a profitable tourism but a sustainable one. Experiences and recreation in the
Norwegian nature are the most important reasons why foreign tourists travel to Norway. That’s
why the country has to take care and protect the nature that have a great value for both an
ecological diversity and a stable economy.
The landscape in Norway is so varied that it can attract tourists from all over the world
and tourists with different wishes and expectations. Famous tourist sites are fjord-indented
coastline, mountains, ski resorts, lakes and woods. Of cause, unspoiled nature in Norway has a
big interest among the tourists. People from regions of big cities wish in a growing extend to
experience something different. Fresh air, clear water and virgin nature have a great value for
many people. Furthermore there are the special nature-experiences which attract tourist to travel
to a place where mass tourism has not broke out yet (Dolve; Holt-Jensen; Seim, 1995, p. 162).
Norway has a big challenge to find the right approach in tourism development to combine ways
to attract more tourists to the country and still not to spoil the nature and the feeling of a calm
place. | nb_NO |
