9 Tourism in Finland and sustainability Nature is the main attraction in Finland The sensitive arctic nature global attention is also strongly following the situation in the arctic zone because of the climate change Need for ecological sustainability in Finland Culture is an underutilized/underrated strenght In Finland live Europe s only indigenous people; the Sami people Need for cultural sustainability in Finland Communication of sustainable issues to the consumers.
10 Nature tourism and sustainability The most important ecological sustainability aspects for Finland Waste sorting, recycling and decreasing of waste The company operates tourism services environmental friendly The company aims at decreasing energy and water consumption The company has an environmental programme The personnel is trained to environmental issues.
11 Culture tourism and sustainability Cultural tourism pays attention to all dimensions of responsible tourism not only cultural (also environmental and economical) In Finnish definition of cultural tourism the cultural sustainability is included as follows: "Cultural tourism involves producing tourism products and services and offering them on commercial grounds to locals as well as people from outside of the region in a manner that respects regional and local cultural resources. The goal is to create memorable experiences and opportunities to explore these cultural resources, to learn from them and to participate in them, thus facilitating the building of one's personal identity and increasing understanding of and appreciation for one's own and other cultures."
12 Culture tourism and sustainability in Finland The most important cultural sustainability aspects for Finland The protection of local culture; especially Sami, respect for the rights and culture of the indigenous people and the authenticity in culture products Wellbeing for the surrounding society, involvement of local community and interaction with local people Use of local labour Use of local food products Use of local products e.g. in in the hotel shop The locality and Finnish life style are visible in marketing Use of different local elements in tourism products (f.ex. Products around tear in the region where tear was an important good for trading)

18 Challenges in seasonality and responsibility Lapland The issues in seasonality of tourism to consider in Lapland In Lapland Europe s only indigenous people. How to protect the local culture and rights of the indigenous people in mass tourism? Use of authentic local products and services -> Sami handicrafts Regional employment availability of local labour in ski resorts - the personnel comes from the Southern Finland in peak seasons Regional wellbeing does the welfare from tourism benefit the locals? Globalisation inside Finland - taxes and ownership - hotels or restaurant chains
19 Cultural sustainability and Sami culture The rights of the indigenous Sami people Preservation and right to their own livelihood - reindeer husbandry The involvement of indigenous also in business, not only as objects of attraction. Educating tourists about the Sami culture, livelihood, symbols and history -> Background and reasons for a strong Sami identity Use of Sami symbols like costumes and handicrafts in tourism Respectful use - not only for exotic experiences Dressing the Sami traditional costumes of non- Samis or in an inaccurate way Use of authentic handicrafts. Maintain the knowledge of local traditional handicrafts. Lähde.
20 Cultural sustainability issues in Finland When using culture in tourism, you also have to note the concrete cultural aspects f.ex. in land use. Important to increase the knowledge of the tourists about the local culture No negative impact on local way of life and source of livelihood because of tourism unless the locals decide so. Lähde.
