How would you define your region's tourism potential ?

The County is located in the northern periphery of Europe and can therefore never be a crowded destination, but with our resources in mind we believe that the products we can offer and our strengths, together with a safe and well-organised society, will be very attractive in years to come.
Does the geographical and/or historical specificities of your region offer potential for certain forms of tourism?

Yes
Eco-tourism (and the Swedish brand Nature’s Best) is a growing segment in our county. It’s well aligned with our tourist product overall, and can and will be further developed.
What does your region do about that?

We have since some years ago been financing projects with the aim to develop more products in the field of Eco-tourism/Nature’s Best. Many tourist enterprises are now, without initiatives from outside, trying to reach the quality level of the brand.
What tourism infrastructures and facilities does your region offer?

We have 152 nature reserves, 1 national park, 1 national river, and 244 areas in the EU network of protected nature, Natura 2000 (most of them also nature reserves). The protected area covers 14% of the total area of the county. We have many outdoor activities: hiking, fishing, hunting, adventures, riding, dog sledging, snow mobiles, etc. The biggest increases in tourist enterprises we have seen in the last several years are in the field of adventure tourism.
