Processes & Coastal Management
To care for our natural surroundings, our way of life - and our guests.
We wish visitors an Environmentally friendly Fishing Village Holiday - and hope you will show consideration and support, also in the future - Welcome to Lofoten!
Over the past few years, Lofoten Island has consolidated its position as one of the country's most stable and attractive destinations. Tourism has reinforced local enterprise and restrained the effects of an extensive national centralisation process.
The tourism in our region may be used as a tool for maintaining settlement, our way of life, our culture and our countryside. Our environment is attractive, but vulnerable. Therefore, it is also crucial that use of our cultural, natural and human resources is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
