Norway is shying away from tourism - here's what other countries could learn | Shazia Majid

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Arguably, a booming tourism industry could be a means of diversifying away from fossil fuels, and securing a much-needed source of income.
46% : You may think the strong sentiments to preserve Norwegian nature and heritage may have some undercurrents of racism and nationalism, but I would argue that it is not about where the tourists are from, but whether they respect nature and the local traditions.
44% : In this sense, the recent scrapping of this campaign points to something deeper: Norway and Norwegians struggle with the dilemma of retaining their privileges, which flow largely from fossil fuels, while scrambling to save nature.
