Sustainability - People and Nature

Tourism is linked to significant emissions and the degradation of natural areas, both locally and nationally. The tourism industry in Norway accounts for 3.6% of GDP, yet as much as 8.8% of greenhouse gas emissions (2019). At the same time, the industry contributes to local vibrancy and offers fantastic experiences for both visitors and residents. Creating a more sustainable tourism sector is challenging, and essential.

Visit Voss works continuously with Voss municipality and the tourism industry on a variety of initiatives that benefit both people and the environment. For you and for me. Our efforts include green mobility, responsible marketing, promoting local food, training and skills development, universal design, and destination management with a focus on high-pressure areas.
