Finland Tourism Digest

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Lapland Stays: Seven hotel openings and expansions are planned across Finnish Lapland for winter 2026–27, including glass igloos, luxury suites and a remote wilderness retreat. Nature Tourism: Finland’s “quietest festival” is underway at Valkmusa National Park through October 31, inviting visitors to explore nature-listening stages along forest trails and boardwalks. Travel Policy: Finland is urging the EU to stop issuing tourist visas to Russians while the war in Ukraine continues; the proposal could affect travel across the Schengen zone, but is not yet EU policy. Air Travel: Finnair has raised its 2026 revenue and profit guidance, a positive signal for the Finnish carrier. Public Transport: Matkahuolto has chosen a supplier for contactless bank-card payments across its transport network, aiming to make fares easier to pay and support tickets from different operators.
