The Lapland companies are strongest when working together in crisis,” says Sanna Kärkkäinen, the Managing Director of Visit Rovaniemi.
The Lapland travel industry, throughout the years, has always been based on networks, and Lapland Tourism Safety Tools with earned international merit, stands as a great example of Lapland’s safety politics.
The Lapland tourism industry shows its strength yet again in the time of COVID-19 by planning safe travel corridors to enable Finland to be open for travel.
The so-called Charter model would create an integrated travel chain that could be implemented on scheduled flights as well, seeing as they are both implementing the cornerstones of travel safety.
Lapland travel companies are working closely with Lapland Hospital District Chief Infection Specialist Markku Broas to prepare a safe customer path to welcome charter flights.
