Our partner activities in 2024
We are planning on several types of activities in the different markets. From seminars to workshop to attending ITB Asia.
These markets travel times of year when we have low season. By promoting Norway, we lead travellers our way, to ensure all year round tourism – and full year employment for the local suppliers. By meeting the tour operators and travel agents, we are also able to inform them about how to build programs/make itineraries which are ensuring a low carbon footprint while in Norway, plan for longer stays and use local suppliers.
A Taste of Norway, Singapore, Jakarta, Thailand
22nd-26th of January
Seminar and mingling, and seafood dinner in Bangkok. If we get enough suppliers attending – a workshop will be hosted. But we plan for a seminar to start with – where suppliers can present their product(s), followed by a mingling session, where one to one talks, or one to many discussions can be performed.

A Taste of Norway, Korea & Japan
22nd-26th of April
As long as the number of suppliers from Norway is low, we continue the Taste of Norway seminar style, where all participants get to give a presentation of their products to all the tour operators. The seminar is followed by a mingling session, where the suppliers have their own table, and the tour operator come and ask questions/follow up from the seminar.
