Winners of Visit Finland's food tourism campaign have been selected
Visit Finland has announced the winners of its international "Have Some Finnish" food tourism campaign. The competition attracted widespread interest from around the world, and its goal has been to raise international awareness of Finnish food culture.
In September, a total of 16 lucky winners from different parts of the world will arrive in Finland. The travelers will get to explore Finnish food and local ingredients in authentic settings. The visits will focus specifically on the Turku and Rovaniemi regions, which offer a diverse range of culinary experiences.
In Turku, the guests will get to discover archipelago cuisine and local farm-to-table products. Rovaniemi, in turn, will offer visitors the opportunity to experience Lappish specialties, such as game and berries, in an Arctic environment. The program is designed to showcase the purity of Finnish food and its connection to nature.
The purpose of the campaign is to strengthen Finland's image as an attractive food tourism destination. Visit Finland believes that these experiences will help spread knowledge about Finnish food culture in the winners' home countries as well. The travelers are expected to share their experiences widely on social media during their visit.
