“Old News for Present-Day Enjoyment”

Lecture by Edmund Harris Utne – “Old News for Present-Day Enjoyment”

Edmund Harris Utne is a Norwegian hotel and tourism executive from Hardanger. He was the fourth-generation owner of Hotel Ullensvang, one of the best-known hotels in the region. In 2006, he was appointed Knight First Class of the Order of St. Olav for his long-standing contribution to Norwegian tourism. The Utne family has a long tradition in hospitality and traveling in Hardanger. His great-grandfather, Hans Utne, moved from Utne to Lofthus and in 1846 established a steamship expedition and accommodation service, which became the foundation of the hotel business.

The lecture will be given in Norwegian.
