On the theme of "Sustainable tourism in practice", Region Västerbotten Tourism is organizing a national conference on March 22. The conference is digital and is aimed at tourism industry players in both the private and public sectors. 

– Västerbotten is at the forefront when it comes to sustainable tourism and I hope that through the conference we can make more people see that there are low thresholds for getting started, says Sirpa Karki, tourism strategist at Region Västerbotten and one of the conference moderators. 

About the conference
