Hello,
We’re busy planning the 2008 Outdoor Academy of Sweden, OAS that will be organized in western Sweden.
For retailers and others who are particularly adventurous, we can reveal that OAS 2008 starts off September 23rd with a two-night stay at a wilderness camp that will involve paddling and hiking in the Dalsland region. After this excursion the group meet up with the press and tour operators at Nordens Ark in Bohuslän. The following days will be filled with activities such as biking, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing and lobster fishing. All so that the participants can experience the amazing Bohuslän archipelago and discover the many exciting outdoor activities it has to offer.
We will be back soon with more detailed information.
As an extension of the Outdoor Academy concept VisitSweden now introduces Culinary Academy of Sweden in cooperation with Position Skåne and SAS.
For four days the participants will have the opportunities to try sausage making, Absolut Academy, a Cooking Course, a traditional eel feast and much more in Skåne, Sweden.
VisitSweden and Scandinavian Outdoor Group together with SAS is planning the next Outdoor Academy for the fall of 2008 in western Sweden.
The concept of Outdoor Academy is getting a spin off!
Inspired by the success of OAS, VisitSweden and SAS are now planning a Culinary Academy.
The purpose is to increase the awareness of Sweden as a country with great and exciting food. The first Culinary Academy will be in the south, in Skåne, where mainly journalists will be invited.
On behalf of all SOG members I would like to thank you for participating and hope you had a good trip back home.
Pls remember to share your pictures and keep in touch
