How sustainable travelling reflects the values of Scandinavia?

Respect for nature isn't new to the Nordics, it is part of Swedish DNA. Back in 1909, Sweden became the first country in Europe to create national parks. Protecting untouched wilderness is something that this country works for over a century. We have a unique law called Allemansrätten (the Right to Roam), which lets anyone explore our forests, fields, and waters. But it comes with a simple, golden rule every Swede grows up with: Don't disturb, don't destroy. We bring that exact mindset into every trip we plan for you.

How our sustainable approach makes your experience better?

Sustainable travel is not only about caring about others – it makes your journey richer. By choosing local restaurants that use locally produced products you not just minimize impact of transportation. You get a chance to try something genuinely unique for this region! By choosing public transport you might lose some time, but you experience the city as a local, meet the locals and not just see the city pass by from the windows of the car.

How can you make a difference when you travel with us?

When you book a trip with Sweden Tours DMC you can be sure that whenever it is possible we will be working with small local businesses. That supports the communities in the Nordic region and helps to preserve both culture and nature. We will plan a trip that will let you enjoy the beauty of nature in the most sustainable way possible. For our clients we choose products with Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Green Key, which are the official sustainability certifications for products and services in the Nordic countries. The labels don't only look at a product's entire journey, but also ban or restrict harmful chemicals and heavy metals. Altogether it makes it safer for you and for our planet.
