b2b FAM-trip and workshop

Experience Finland

5-6th of May 2025

Experience Finland – Sea and Lakes is an event that serves as a gateway to Finnish tourism destinations and experiences.

We present distinctive regional tourism experiences and destinations through a neatly organized FAM trip. This event directly highlights the region's culture, nature, and history to industry buyers. We warmly invite tour operators, travel agencies, DMCs, incoming operators, and other significant buyers who bring international visitors to Finland. Participation in this event is complimentary for all buyers.

Experience Finland – Sea and Lakes event has two parts. In the FAM trip section, we travel to different DMO areas and familiarize ourselves with Finnish activities in multiple areas. In the workshop, you will meet international buyers and suppliers face-to-face in a real sales and development workshop.

We will highlight Finland's unique experiences because while a picture might tell a thousand words, the experience must be lived to tell the tale truly.

This year, the event and tour will take place around Uusimaa and its neighbouring cities, which are under two hours away from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, so all the destinations are within a short drive from the Vantaa airport or Helsinki harbours.

See you at Experience Finland in the Summer of 2025!
