Media Media Invitation To Visit Finnish Lapland In Late August

Finnish Tourist Board

The Finnish Tourist Board has six places for a three-night trip to Finnish Lapland from 29 August to 1 September. There are two itineraries to choose from. One (3 places) focuses on the fishing opportunities in Lapland (trout, grayling, crayfish) while the other (3 places) looks at more general summer activities. Both programmes are designed to offer an insight into what Finnish Lapland has to offer the summer visitor, and anticipate the start of charter flights to Lapland in summer 2007.

Both trips depart London Heathrow at 1020 on Tuesday 29 August and return to Heathrow at approximately 2035 on Friday 1 September.

Please in the first instance contact Marika Finne at the Finnish Tourist Board by email (marika.finne@mek.fi) to register your interest, giving details of your publication and circulation. Freelance journalists are also very welcome to apply.

We would hope to confirm places on the trip by 14 July. Please contact Marika Finne for a full programme
