A debate ahead of the 2025 municipal elections in Odsherred Municipality concerned the future of the traditional Nordstrand Camping, which was to be closed and replaced with holiday homes. In September 2026 the municipal council decided to stop the planning work. An analysis by CONCITO and the think tank Hav found that Gl. Ålbo Camping, with just 112 camping units and 50,000 annual overnight stays, supports tourism turnover of DKK 41 million in Kolding Municipality, along with employment of nearly 24 full-time positions, gross value added of DKK 10.7 million and tax revenue of DKK 9 million. Camping accounts for around 12 million overnight stays a year in Denmark, but campsite development is often limited by outdated planning and lengthy permitting.
