In nature, tourism should leave no trace. Traces should be set inside the traveler, and leave positive effects in local communities.
SPOR means “trails” or “traces” in Norwegian. We believe sustainable adventures and tourism experiences should be positive for local economy and leave deep traces in the adventurer, without leaving traces in nature.
SPOR is a small Norway-based team of experienced tourism advisers. We can help you increase local value creation from nature-based tourism.
Consulting:
Advise for small and large players who either want to check whether they are on the right track or are ready for a change of track.

We have extensive experience with visitor management, local community development and can assist with product and concept development.
