The tourism from China to Finland is experiencing a rapid growth thanks to customer friendly, flexible and better services.
The number of overnight stays by Chinese visitors in Finland grew more than 40% in 2015 in comparison to the previous year and Chinese travelers are already the biggest spenders per visit of all the international visitors in Finland.
Finland’s new visa application centres in different parts of China, including in the cities with direct flight connections to Helsinki, offer easier and more comfortable access to visit beautiful and pure Finland.
