Solifer motorhomes present new product segment

The brand new product range from Solifer has an elegant, functional and accessible design, says Solifer in a press release. The range includes vans, as well as semi- and fully integrated motorhomes from 6 to 7.40 metres. There are a total of 19 different models to choose from.

Naturkompaniet starts with travelling

The hiking and home holiday trend has been growing strongly for several years and in 2019 and 2020 has broken all records. The desire for nature, mountains and the undisturbed is great. Naturkompaniet now wants to meet these needs, according to a press release. Starting in 2021, trips are offered around Sweden and neighbouring countries.

The trips include both week-long expeditions and long weekends aimed at both experienced and novice travellers. "Something Naturkompaniet can offer in addition to the trips themselves is that you can test, borrow and learn more about different types of equipment during the trip," says Henrik Hoffman, CEO of Naturkompaniet.

Reflection of the week

Motorhomes, caravans, local travel and dreams of more exotic journeys - that sums up this week's travel news, but perhaps also travel in 2020. Will it be 'business as usual' again or has travel changed forever?
