HANEN is a nationwide membership organization for businesses within rural tourism, farm food and inland fishing. We work actively to highlight our members in the media and contribute to increased knowledge and interest in Norwegian local food, tourism and rural culture.
Through press releases, media visits, reporting tips and collaboration with journalists and editorial teams, we highlight the good stories from all over the country – with real people, unique experiences and flavors with roots in Norwegian nature and tradition.
