Abstract
T

ourism is a big and growing business all over the world. In recent decades, Norway

promotes tourism in general and ecotourism in particular, as a product, as well as the

improvement of quality and the development of tourism. Norway is more goal-directed to

promote not just a profitable tourism but a sustainable one. Experiences and recreation in the

Norwegian nature are the most important reasons why foreign tourists travel to Norway. That’s

why the country has to take care and protect the nature that have a great value for both an

ecological diversity and a stable economy.

The landscape in Norway is so varied that it can attract tourists from all over the world

and tourists with different wishes and expectations. Famous tourist sites are fjord-indented

coastline, mountains, ski resorts, lakes and woods. Of cause, unspoiled nature in Norway has a

big interest among the tourists. People from regions of big cities wish in a growing extend to

experience something different. Fresh air, clear water and virgin nature have a great value for

many people. Furthermore there are the special nature-experiences which attract tourist to travel

to a place where mass tourism has not broke out yet (Dolve; Holt-Jensen; Seim, 1995, p. 162).

Norway has a big challenge to find the right approach in tourism development to combine ways

to attract more tourists to the country and still not to spoil the nature and the feeling of a calm

place.
