Tales of Norway’s natural beauty will not sell on their own. But if we make a choice to treat tourism as strategically and ambitiously as other industries, then high-quality tourism can become one answer to the question of Norway’s source of income after oil.

Norway is known for nature attractions like fjords, mountains, northern lights, and the midnight sun. Because of the Gulf Stream, Norway has a friendlier climate than the latitude indicates, leaving it with ice-free ports all year round. The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current leading water from the Caribbean northeasterly across the Atlantic Ocean and then following the Norwegian coast northwards.

Our privately-held companies Greater Arctic Holding, Visit Varanger, and Marelius plan to build several resorts and landscape hotels in Varanger – The coast of Lapland on top of the world. 
 
We connect the dots and work with people with talent, energy, and passion. We build networks with people and companies worldwide to develop Varanger into a year-round sustainable tourism destination. 

The investment frame is from 2M EURO to  50M EURO. Today we control approximately 200.000 square meters of land in the North-Varanger region. Invest in silence, mother nature, the arctic ocean, sustainable tourism, and contemporary architecture together with us. Please contact us here for further information!
