    Håkan Strotz från ekoturismföretaget urnatur.se berättar om hur de har byggt upp sin verksamhet.

Enkelt men stiligt boende för högklassiga hotellpriser. 80% av maten som erbjuds kommer från gården som kunderna dessutom skall tillreda själva. Vad är roligaste? Det är nog att träffa så många olika slags människor, från skogsbolags personal till internationella kända modeller på ”photoshoot”. Och vad vill kunder uppleva, de vill inte känna sig själva som turister, de vill vara delaktiga, live like a local i trygga förhållandena, att känna sig lyckade.
