"TourNord’s goal is improving tourism education in the Nordics, inspired by the key recommendations of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ 2019 tourism policy analysis for the industry:

  • Increase Nordic cooperation on sustainable development in tourism
  • Digitalize to ‘Smart’ Nordic Destinations
  • Encourage innovation to foster competitiveness and growth.

With tourism playing a growing role in the Nordics, educators/students must gear themselves towards a new future in Nordic Tourism (NT). We aim to tackle these issues and apply them to higher education. "
