Chinese tourists' enthusiasm for winter sports boosts Finnish tourism

China Daily  

The rising number of Chinese tourists has contributed to the growth of Finnish tourism, according to Finnish national broadcaster Yle. Citing booking numbers from Visit Finland, the report said a total of 140,000 Chinese tourists are coming to Finland from December 2019 to February 2020, up 16 percent from last winter. Finland's national carrier Finnair also started to offer thrice weekly flights to Beijing Daxing International Airport this autumn, in addition to the seven weekly flights to Beijing Capital International Airport. Among popular attractions for Chinese tourists are Lapland, Finland's northernmost region, and the Paljakka ski resort in Puolanka, a small town in central Finland with only 2,600 residents. Due to the small size of Paljakka, Chinese tourists arriving around Christmas this year have to be divided into eight groups and take turns to visit the resort, the report noted.
