Sustainability
At Arctic Essence, sustainability is at the core of how we design and deliver travel experiences in Northern Sweden. We believe in creating meaningful journeys that benefit both visitors and local communities, while preserving the natural environment for future generations.
Our approach
We collaborate closely with small-scale, locally rooted businesses – from guides and hosts to food producers. This ensures that tourism creates real value in the local community.
Our experiences are designed for small groups, focusing on nature-based activities with minimal environmental impact. We prioritise quality over volume.
We guide our guests and partners towards conscious travel decisions, including sustainable transport options, seasonal travel and respect for nature and local culture.
Arctic Essence is part of Visit Sweden’s Responsible Tourism Program. Through this initiative, we continuously develop our sustainability practices in line with international standards and work actively to improve our environmental, social and economic impact.
We are committed to continuously improving our sustainability efforts together with our partners. Our goal is to contribute to a more responsible and resilient tourism industry in Arctic Sweden.
About Responsible Tourism Program
The Responsible Tourism Program is a framework developed to promote a more sustainable tourism where companies, destinations and municipalities work together for increased environmental responsibility, support more resource-efficient solutions, and strengthen local community development. The program is based on the Global Sustainability Tourism Council (GSTC) global standard for sustainable tourism.
