Globalization has led to an increase in competition between places in hopes of attracting mobile capital and investments as well as new inhabitants and tourists.

This makes it hard to develop a brand through co-operation there is a possibility that the brand a place wishes to mediate becomes fragmented.
The purpose of this essay is to examine what strategies a smaller municipality in southern
Sweden is using for their brand building. We will analyse the opportunities as well as the risks these strategies entails. The essay will have Örkelljunga municipality as a case study where a newly planned project will be in focus.
We have held semi-structured interviews with people who has insight in tourism and business in different levels connected to tourism in the region known as Skåne. These have been people with a direct connection to Örkelljunga and people with an indirect connection through tourism
operators. By combining these interview with document analysis, we have made it possible to create an essay which has credibility and authenticity. We also strengthen the credibility of the essay by showing the complexities of our chosen theories and by pointing out the lack of research on how smaller municipalities work with branding and nature as their strongest resource.
