Destination Apelviken AB
Exactly how long people have been camping in the place where Destination Apelviken is located today, we cannot really say. Just like so many other recreational resorts, Apelviken was established gradually at some point in the early 20th century, and was consolidated by and by, from a spot for spontaneous outings, via camping ground and organised camping site to the current, modern facility, offering recreation, holidays and conferences. Get right over here for some more information about the history of Apelviken.
Today, Destination Apelviken AB runs four main business ventures under the shared name of Destination Apelviken; camping, hotel, restaurant and conference.
The owner is Nils Gordh together with his two children, Anna och Olle. Nils is hairman of the board and Anna is Operation manager. The company has thirtyfive full-time employees who work all year round, and boost their numbers with temporary staff during many months of the year. The “classic” holiday weeks provide work for a little over one hundred people at Destination Apelviken.
