Visit Trelleborg's focus on the role of tourism in sustainable social development has recently been awarded the coveted Scandinavian Outdoor Award TRAVEL 2024 "Best Sustainability Concept". The award was presented at the annual ITB trade fair in Berlin and is a confirmation of the company's commitment to developing new ways of working with sustainable place and product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis award is a big gold star for us at Visit Trelleborg,\u201d says the company\u2019s CEO Maarja Edman. It shows that we have been absolutely right in our endeavor to see tourism as a tool for the development of local society, which in turn benefits us local residents.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit Trelleborg received the award for its local tourism strategy, which is based on the UN's global goals, and for its participation in the sustainability project "Spela Roll", which is run in collaboration with Visit Sk\u00e5ne, local companies and Kontiki Reisen. The award highlights the value of Visit Trelleborg as a local engine in three areas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The local tourism strategy, together with the \u201dPlay a Role\u201d project, is a powerful driving force for creating new attractive travel opportunities outside the traditional high season. This initiative promotes the economy of local businesses by contributing to a more even flow of customers all year round, which also enables more stable employment in the tourism industry. In addition, visitors are encouraged to take personal responsibility for the places they visit, in the hope that they will treat these places with the same care as if they were their own home. \u201dPlay a Role\u201d takes a holistic approach to sustainability, leading to more responsible and long-term sustainable tourism.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 The key to the success of this work has been a curious commitment from both Visit Trelleborg, our regional partner Visit Sk\u00e5ne and the local business community, which has allowed us to think outside the box. <\/em>N<\/em>The nomination already made us very happy, but even winning helps us to reach out to new partners that our local partner companies can benefit from and do business with, notes Maarja Edman.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit Trelleborg is proud to share this award with all partners and looks forward to continuing to work together to make Trelleborg on the south coast of Sk\u00e5ne even more attractive to both visitors and its residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local companies that have participated in the Play a Role project: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hall\u00e5kra winery The jury's justification reads: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Best Sustainability Concept \u2013 Visit Trelleborg<\/strong> According to the press release.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visit Trelleborgs fokus p\u00e5 turismens roll inom h\u00e5llbar samh\u00e4llsutveckling har i dagarna premierats med \u00e5tr\u00e5v\u00e4rda Scandinavian Outdoor Award TRAVEL 2024 ”Best Sustainability Concept”.
