Tourism and environmental initiatives
In recent years, there has been increasing focus on how meetings, fairs and conferences affect the environment and local communities.
Our work with environmental initiatives
VisitHerning has a destination strategy that includes work to address the environmental impact of tourism while preserving local characteristics and cultural heritage.
As part of this work, we facilitate projects, involve local tourism businesses and partners, share knowledge and follow developments in relevant areas.
One example is E.A.T. – Eating And Tourism, where local tourism businesses work together on specific initiatives, including extending the season and using locally sourced products in food production.

Examples of initiatives at meeting venues and other partners
VisitHerning works together with meeting venues, restaurants and other partners to develop initiatives related to environmental considerations and the local community.
By considering specific choices during the planning phase, meeting organisers can take relevant factors into account when selecting venues, catering and accommodation.
Below, you can find examples of venues and partners and information about the initiatives and certifications they provide.
