Tourism wears out the nature at Kullaberg – app should attract to other places

Nature tourism to the Kulla Peninsula has increased significantly in recent years, particularly at Kullaberg.

This has led to overcrowding and wear and tear on nature.

Now the county administration has received 1.3 million from the Norwegian Agency for Growth to develop tourism around the Kulla peninsula's nature reserve.

It is an investment to maintain and increase tourism while reducing the burden on nature.

App should attract further visitors

The project includes ensuring the safety and condition of the hiking trails, but half a million of the money will go to the development of an app.

- The app should make guests spread out more evenly on the Kulla Peninsula nature reserve.

With an app, you can channel people to other places, says Jimena Castillo, project coordinator at the County Administrative Board in Skåne.

Currently, it is Kullaberg that receives a majority of the Kulla Peninsula's 600,000 annual visitors.

But the idea is that visitors should be spread out more evenly across the nine nature reserves included in the project.

The project will begin in the autumn and will last for two years.
