The far north of Norway is surely one of Europe’s most exciting settings for a business meeting. Participants can rely on top-class facilities, allied to unusual out-of-hours choices. The beautiful island group, Lofoten, is a particular highlight and a popular choice for business travellers. Picture postcard villages made up of pretty, coloured wooden houses provide a tranquil setting, but really, these are just the beginning. Visitors can take advantage of “The Best of the Arctic” tour, with elements specifically aimed at conference guests, and experience Norway’s most varied scenery and climate. “The Best of the Arctic” involves cooperation between a number of entrepreneurs and organizations intent on providing a package of experience tailor-made for each group according to budget and time available. A number of available packages include meetings with the local Sami culture, a killer whale safari or a tour of some of Norway’s northernmost and most pristine fjords by boat. Details of this and other activities for business in the Lofoten region are presented on the website of Destination Lofoten AS, the region’s joint promotional body –

The Ideal Backdrop
Elsewhere in the north of Norway, businesses and organizations can take advantage of a region capable of delivering high quality corporate tours and convenient meeting facilities. In the Nordland region, businesses can take advantage of a number of group activities designed specifically to allow participants to work together and meet challenges as a team. Saivo AS organizes wilderness courses and training, including navigation by map and compass, setting up camps, and perhaps hunting with or without dogs; another option might be to take a historical perspective and hold a meeting at Solum Gård Estate, where in times past business, politics and fish have been discussed in the same time honoured manner. Whatever the decision, businesses and organizations can rest assured that northern Norway can provide an utterly unique setting.
