The document outlines Finland’s national tourism strategy for 2019–2028 and the action plan for 2019–2023. It aims to position Finland as the most sustainably growing tourist destination in the Nordic countries. The strategy focuses on four key priorities: fostering sustainable development, responding to digital change, improving accessibility, and ensuring a competitive operating environment. In addition, the document emphasizes the importance of cooperation among various stakeholders and provides a roadmap for growth and renewal in Finnish tourism.

It also highlights the significant economic impact of tourism in Finland, noting that tourism exports accounted for over 17% of service export income in 2017 and employed more than 140,000 people. The strategy supports the Finnish government’s broader goals and includes measures to be implemented collaboratively by a wide range of actors.
