Master plan for Narvik as a destination
Narvik as a destination has structured the development of the tourism industry through Master Plans since 2003. The initial plans were implemented with measures in 2004 and evaluated in 2008/09, but at that time, the most costly measures in the revised plan were not funded. Following the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Narvik obtaining the status of a "Sustainable Destination," and the municipal merger in 2020, are the reasons for the revision of the Master Plan for the Narvik region. This revised Master Plan encompasses Narvik, Gratangen, Lavangen, and Bardu municipalities. Throughout the process of revising the plan, there has been a consistent approach of "transitioning from facilitation to harvesting." This is understood as recognizing the need for increased year-round traffic in the region's industry, and through the Master Plan, facilitating this within the framework of sustainable tourism development. The process of revising the Master Plan for the Narvik region has been inclusive, involving business actors, residents, and other stakeholders who have been consulted and provided input throughout the process.
