Checklists, guides and services
On this page, we have collected tools including checklists, guides and services aimed at those operating or who will operate tourism and hospitality businesses.
Checklists
Our checklists give you a good overview of what is needed when starting a business. The checklists for events, hotels and accommodation, or restaurants provide information regarding what permits you need to apply for and what to consider. After answering a few questions, you will receive a list customised for your situation.

The information on sustainable entrepreneurship is divided into four sections, and which sections are relevant to you and your business depend, among other things, on whether you sell goods or services, your sector, and your progress in integrating sustainability into your business.
