Tampere – Finland's Manchester – was a thriving industrial city. Now it is fighting unemployment and is investing in tourism and startups.
But the industrial heritage lives on, as seen at the Finnish Labour Museum Werstas. Yet most popular of all is perhaps the Moomin Museum.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Øresund Bridge. Ministers, the royal family, and all of us can celebrate that it has been 25 years since Denmark and Sweden got this physical connection.

But it's about marking something much more than a bridge of concrete and steel. And that's what journalist Fayme Alm writes about in the article "The Øresund Bridge: 25 years in a region that creates dynamics" which was first published on www.nordiclabourjournal.org at the end of April.

Today is a good opportunity to remind you of the article again, just in case you missed it last time.

With more than 2.3 million annual visitors, how does Bergen’s Mount Fløyen balance growth and sustainability?

As visitor numbers increase, new demands are being placed on visitor management, argues Kristin Steinsland, sales and marketing manager for Fløyen.

“We have a great responsibility, and with rising visitor numbers, it becomes even more important to think holistically. Sustainable visitor management is a joint responsibility for all of Bergen,” she says.

Tourism in the Nordic region has grown a lot over the past decades. It creates jobs and money in the state coffers. But mass tourism comes at a price. And local communities and researchers are sounding the alarm: Sustainable tourism must be about more than the climate and money.

Iceland: Sustainability no longer a choice but a necessity

Iceland is seen as an environmentally friendly country in many ways, but sustainability is still a relatively new concept – even within the tourism industry. Interest is now growing, especially as customers increasingly demand responsible choices.

Tourism is coming in for increased criticism, especially in Spain, but also in other popular destinations like Amsterdam, Berlin and Venice. Unease about the number of tourists also exists in some places in the Nordics, and many are working on strategies for more sustainable tourism.

Rent a kayak and pick litter out of Copenhagen’s harbour. That was the simple idea Tobias Weber-Andersen had while out running one day in 2017. Nine years later, GreenKayak is a tourism magnet with kayaks in four Nordic countries, plus Germany and Japan.

134 tonnes. That is how much litter tourists and locals have fished out of the waters in Copenhagen and other Nordic and German cities in the nine years since GreenKayak started operating.
