Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living

Det handler om veivalg🧭 En historisk samarbeidsavtale er inngått. Kvænangen kommune går inn i et samarbeid med Visit Alta — på tvers av fylkesgrenser. Det er både spennende og viktig. Fredag hadde vi første møte med næringen på Gildetun, med stort oppmøte fra reiselivsaktører, matprodusenter, kulturrepresentanter, politikere og administrasjon. Temaet var hvilken rolle reiselivet kan spille i utviklingen av et godt lokalsamfunn. Vi snakket om hvilke utfordringer reiselivet kan bidra til å løse. Og ikke minst: hva som skal til for å lykkes. Visit Alta kan bidra med markedsføring, innsikt, nettverk og kunnskapsdeling. Men retningen, identiteten og prioriteringene må eies lokalt. Fredagens møte føltes som en veldig god start: stort engasjement, mange kloke innspill og en tydelig vilje til å bygge noe sammen🔥 Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living Alta kommune KVÆNANGEN KOMMUNE

«Da gjestene dro»… More than 800 participants have now left after a successful Norwegian Travel Workshop. NTW is not just a sales arena for Norwegian tourism – it’s a major local effort for the host destination. What’s left behind is a small community that delivered 100%. I believe they’re sitting with a strong sense of pride, teamwork – and yes, a bit tired ;) Thank you for the warm Northern Norwegian hospitality, Lofoten!❤️ And thanks to the organizers – Siri Tallaksen and Innovasjon Norge and Destination Lofoten 🙌 ..and I must say - I fell in love with April in Lofoten😌🥰

What a privilege to share Arctic Living with the German market! Yesterday in Svolvær, together with great partners from Alta, we had the opportunity to present #ArcticLiving and what makes Alta so special to 130 German travel agents. Our common goal is clear – to make the new direct flight from Frankfurt with Discover Airlines a real success this winter! A huge thank you to Destination Lofoten for taking the initiative, to Discover Airlines, and to our amazing tour operator partners Arctic Earth Adventures GmbH, @NorwayPro Travel and DERTOUR Deutschland for bringing the agents up north. And of course, to all the local heroes in Lofoten and the destination companies around Evenes who made this inspiring event possible. Thank you!❤️ #MegaFam2025 Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living

Building connections across the Atlantic! This week, Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living took part in the Roadshow North America together with colleagues from across the Nordics. We had meetings in Seattle, Toronto, and New York, connecting with more than 35 tour operators interested in our region. From geography lessons about Northern Norway to discussions about the many experiences our great partners in Alta region can offer, it was great to share what makes our Arctic destination special. There is a growing interest in Scandinavia, and the news about direct flights with Discover Airlines and Finnair was very well received. Alta - Next to nothing, has a great potential in the North American market, which is the most growing for our destination. A big thank you to Visit Norway with other Nordic Visits for organizing an intense and valuable week of meetings and networking.

Finding the perfect match💞 
For me, building a sustainable destination is not about welcoming everyone – it’s about connecting with the guests who truly appreciate what makes our place unique. When expectations and experiences match, that’s when the magic happens. ✨ Last week I was lucky to meet so many passionate professionals who share the same vision. 
Thank you Noorderhuis.travel , Haman Terra Nova and Haman Travel for the insights and for the opportunity to share my passion for my destination – and my home 🏡 Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living #sustainabledestination #travelforceforgood

What a weekend in Breukelen!🇳🇱 I had the pleasure of joining Voigt Travel ’s Sales Event, where partners from Finland, Sweden, Iceland, and Norway came together to inspire Dutch travelers to experience the Nordics. It’s impressive to see the energy, knowledge, and passion that goes into showcasing our destinations and convincing people to discover the authentic North. A huge thank you to the amazing team at Voigt Travel – your heart for the Nordics really makes a difference🫶 Visit Alta - This is Arctic Living

✨ Inspiring work from Toerisme Vlaanderen - VISITFLANDERS ! Through the *Travel to Tomorrow* initiative, they highlight how tourism can create value far beyond the visit itself – by strengthening local identity, building flourishing communities, and offering more meaningful experiences for travelers. Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Visit Flanders and learning how they put this philosophy into practice. It resonates strongly with how I believe the Alta region must think about destination development – where sustainable tourism is about profitable businesses, local well-being, nature conservation, and responsible, satisfied guests. Definitely an initiative worth following for anyone working on the future of tourism! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d7yytiVU #TravelToTomorrow #Sustainability #FutureOfTourism Nettverk for Destinasjonsleiing og Berekraftig Reisemålsutvikling (NDBR) Innovasjon Norge NordNorsk Reiseliv AS
