Sustainable STF

Imagine a Sweden where it’s easy and inspiring to explore sustainably. That’s our goal. We want to inspire tourism rooted in respect for the natural and cultural environments of each destination and driven by curiosity and a sense of discovery.

The Swedish Tourist Association promotes and works for sustainable tourism and outdoor life. Here, we share tips on how you can explore Sweden in a gentle, low-impact way – and what STF does to reduce its environmental footprint.

Tips for a sustainable holiday

The Right of public access

It also comes with a shared responsibility to show consideration for wildlife, nature, landowners and other people.
