Explore the Finnish landscape

Located at the crossroads of the West and East that provides a great opportunity for travellers to experience Finland en route to or from Europe, VisitFinland is positioning the country as an ultimate destination for the Indian travellers.

The Ambasador of Finland to India, Nina Vaskunlahti, said, “Finland has reinvented itself in just one short century—from a largely agrarian society into a high-tech country. Our national character and northern heritage have boosted us to the top of many kinds of country rankings from quality of life to clean air. Finland is one of the world’s most sparsely populated countries where almost 80 per cent of the land is covered by forest and 10 per cent by water. So it’s no wonder that tourists are blown away by the sheer beauty of the Finnish landscape.”

The landscape of Finland is a pristine paradise for nature lovers. Design, architecture, culture and shopping are all great exploration angles with stunning national parks, forests, lakes, and the coastline with numerous islands. The head of PR and media for Asia and Australia from VisitFinland, Sari Hey,  shared, “With 40 national parks, 188,000 lakes and over two million saunas, Finland offers some of the world’s unique experiences of staying in glass igloos and snow hotels, unique nature activities such as berry picking and seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Fortress of Suomenlinna in Helsinki. Aurora Borealis can appear on 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland and Santa Claus—the one and only—comes from Finland.”

Having witnessed a robust growth in tourist arrivals and overnights from the Indian market, Visit Finland reinstated their focus in the Indian market. The country head for India from VisitFinland, Sara Sodhi Juneja, further added, “Finland received a very warm welcome in the Indian market with the arrivals growing by 15 per cent in 2018. We are focusing on developing Finland as an all year destination for Indians with the four unique seasons. With midnight sun in the summer and the ephemeral allure of the Northern Lights in the winter, Finland possesses a wealth of rare beauty, and a truly distinctive ambience”.
