Travel and Tourism

GRIP develops methods for a more sustainable and eco-efficient travel and tourism industry, field tests these methods in pilotprojects around the country, and distributes handbooks for reducing the environmental load and increasing the profitability of each individual establishment.

The GRIP handbooks are all developed in close collaboration with the industry in question. and some of them are field tested in pilotprojects in the industry. The pilotprojects are financed partly by GRIP, but at least 50 % is contributed by the industry or business itself. The destination development projects are also financed partly by the local authorities. The initiative for the development of these guidelines comes from both government, the trade organisations, the industry/businesses in question and GRIP.

GRIP also arranges courses, conferences and seminars to disseminate information on methodology, environmental know-how and bestpractice examples.
