Beyond this it is worth for the verification team to note that Sagastad is known in Norway for being the most followed attraction on social media, and cooperating with a wide range of influencers. In addition we are frequently covered in the media, both on TV, Radio and the press.

Select editorial coverage of Sagastad with a mix of global, national and local sources to provide different perspectives. I have selected those with broad appeal and also some niche coverage to show diversity.
