In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the impact of meetings, fairs, and conferences on the environment and society.

Sustainable Transition

VisitHerning has a destination strategy for sustainable tourism development, which focuses on minimizing tourism's environmental impact while preserving our unique characteristics and cultural heritage. We promote green initiatives, engage stakeholders, educate about sustainability, and monitor results. Our goal is to maintain a balance between tourism growth and the preservation of natural and cultural resources.

VisitHerning has chosen a proactive approach to sustainable tourism development. That is why we often facilitate local projects, such as E.A.T. – Eating And Tourism, where local tourism businesses collaborate to initiate specific activities that reduce environmental impact, for instance, by extending the season and using local products in food production.
