– “This is a completely unique concept in the Norwegian tourism industry.
Straand Hotel’s focus on motorcycles and the classic car segment has had an incredibly positive effect on the hotel and the region.
We are proud to launch it as inspiration for other tourism destinations in Norway,” says Anne-Hege Svartdal, general manager of Visit Telemark.

– We’d like to praise the Straand family for their efforts and MC-avisen’s BikerDudes team for developing the HUB routes.
It’s great to see the results of the product development that is central to the Fjell-Telemark project, which is a joint initiative across the municipal boundaries in this region (www.fjelltelemark.no).
This is helping to create growth for the whole of Telemark and for those of us who live in West Telemark,” says Mayor Bjørn Nordskog (Sp) of Kviteseid municipality in a comment.

– “The Vest-Telemark region has come together to focus on tourism now during the Corona era, and it is incredibly fun and important for the business community to have Straand Hotel as a role model for innovative thinking,” said Business Manager Elisabeth Lid in Kviteseid municipality during today’s press conference where HUB-riding was launched as a digital and simple solution at the Straand hotel in Vrådal.
