The Svalbard Tourism Council wishes to contribute towards good opportunities for product and quality improvement in Svalbard's tourism industry. These guidelines aim to set the premises for the execution of various forms of organised activities in Svalbard's nature. In this way, the industry wishes to maintain both its own and the authorities' requirements concerning safety and quality, while at the same time also providing guests with the best possible benefit from their experience products. These guidelines must be seen clearly in conjunction with current laws and regulations.
