NORDIC TOURISM COLLECTIVE

The Nordic Tourism Collective was founded in 2019 by Paul Wagner and Andy Fairburn. With credentials well established at a national, regional and local level throughout Northern Europe as well as in key originating markets worldwide, we have a strong track record in Nordic travel and tourism with skills in marketing, sales, product and procurement, that are largely complementary and interchangeable. We are committed to the sustainable development of tourism in the Nordic and Baltics regions

The Nordic Tourism Collective is a not-for-profit organisation with an Advisory Council of representative, elected members from the Nordic tourism industry with its own Articles of Association. The Nordic Tourism Collective has offices in London and Tallinn.

DEN GRIMME ÆLLING

The story of the Den Grimme Ælling by Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), provides the inspiration for our logo and an apt analogy for the Nordic Tourism Collective, representing and showcasing the beauty and rich diversity of the Nordic Region to international visitors worldwide, promoting less familiar destinations in the advancement of sustainable tourism. Swans also partner for life, reflecting our commitment to building long term partnerships and cooperation
