Destination Røros represents the voice of our region in marketing and the development of tourism.
The Sustainability Policy is an extension of our work on joint strategy.
The strategy focuses on: World Heritage, Sustainability, Visibility and Economic growth.
Sustainable Røros
Our most important strategic focus and competitive strength lies in the conservation and further development of the World Heritage Site Røros Mining Town and The Circumference, along with our local communities, cultural heritage, common history and natural surroundings.
Sustainability is about protecting nature, culture and the environment while strengthening social values and ensuring economic viability. As a member organization of Destination Røros we wish to follow the principles outlined in our common sustainable environment policy. We believe that ecology and economy are two sides of the same coin and that environmental efficiency is cost effective for businesses while preserving the environment for new generations. Together we intend to create an even more sustainable tourist destination with particular focus on:
Strong and generous
1. Hospitality
Destination Røros has a thorough knowledge of our World Heritage site and local history and seeks to be good hosts. This contributes to the region being known for its warm-hearted and knowledgeable hosts. We are proud to recommend fellow organizations and tourist attractions in the region and to be the best possible sales representatives for each other.
2. Local produce
We are proud of using more and more local produce in our organization, and we wish to stimulate further economical growth and a stronger local community by using local products.
Authentic and mythical tales
3. Social values
We aim to give our guests authentic, memorable and magical experiences and we enjoy sharing our stories of past and present with our guests and with each other.
4. Knowledge
The people who work in our organization are our most important resource and ensure that our guests enjoy quality experiences during their stay in our region. Good local knowledge is therefore essential for our professional image.
Innovative
5. Environmental awareness
Destination Røros reinvests in the future by being conscious of climate and environmental issues and by acquiring the information necessary to respond appropriately. This includes looking at waste disposal schemes, water and air emissions and energy consumption.
6. Economic growth
As a member of Destination Røros, I will work continually both for the development of my own organization and for that of our destination in general, for the pleasure and satisfaction of our guests.
