Bergen is a Sustainable Destination

Destinations play a key role in the progress towards sustainable tourism and travel. We are therefore proud that Bergen is the largest destination in the Nordics to be labelled as Sustainable destination.

Sustainable Destination is the only national labelling scheme in the Nordic region for travel destinations. It is a quality mark for destinations that has committed to work systematically towards more sustainable tourism, preserving local communities, natural areas and cultural heritage, and reducing the environmental footprint from tourism. As a major cruise port Bergen is also evaluated on certain cruise criteria (in Norwegian) in addition to the 31 and 84 other criteria and indicators in the labelling scheme.
