The National Strategy for Sustainable Growth in Danish Tourism, established in June 2022, aims to enhance Denmark's tourism sector by focusing on sustainable development and recovery post-COVID-19. This comprehensive plan addresses the significant impact of tourism on Denmark's economy, highlighting its role in generating growth, employment, and cultural exchange. The strategy includes a detailed framework with seven key chapters, covering aspects from COVID-19 recovery and green tourism development to innovative digital solutions and community integration.
Prioritizing a balanced approach to economic, environmental, and social sustainability, the strategy seeks to position Denmark as one of the world's most sustainable tourism destinations by 2030. It emphasizes the need for structural investments and effective destination management to attract international tourists and expand tourism across both urban and rural areas. By providing a structured roadmap for collaboration among national tourism organizations, municipal destination companies, and the private sector, this strategy aims to create favorable conditions for a resilient and thriving tourism industry in Denmark.
