In August, Finnish and Swedish actors on both sides of the Kvarken Strait embarked on a new project to improve the Kvarken region\u2019s attraction and towards for tour operators and tourists. This cooperation builds on past experience but now the project partners include more destinations and the perspective is more international than ever before. The contrasts that the region can offer and the signals from the tour operators act as driving factors. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Our cooperation benefits from lessons learnt in past cross-border projects, for instance, that a wider geographical area, including two countries during the same journey, makes the destination more attractive for tour operators and end customers, says Ms Erja Back at Visit Ume\u00e5.<\/p>\n

On the eve of the biggest travel fair in Northern Europe, Matka 2019 in Helsinki, the partners carried out the first measures visible for the tour operators and tourists.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Together with the region\u2019s seven Destination Management Organisations, we selected the companies to highlight as the reasons for going on a trip. Sooner we will combine them in packages which will fulfil the wishes of different types of tourists. We provide everything from stunning views and nature in the World Natural Heritage site to history, cities, breathtaking activities, delicacies in fine-dining restaurants as well as family attractions \u2013 in two countries during the same journey, Ms Back continues.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The driving force in this cooperation is the untapped potential which tour operators have shown special interest in, namely that tourists from far away prefer to visit two countries while in the Nordic region. We have, for instance, a region with big topographical contrasts within a short distance in our two countries. The two sides are joined by the shortest ferry connection between mainland Finland and Sweden. It gives more time for new discoveries and adventures. In addition, we have good traffic connections to and from our respective capitals, explains Mr Peter K\u00e4llberg at Vaasa Region Development Company VASEK.<\/p>\n
