Known for its thousands of lakes and vast wildernesses, Finland is a year-round adventure travel destination. Due to Finland's launch of the Sustainable Travel Finland program (STF), it's also quickly becoming a sustainable destination choice for travelers from all over the world. The STF program provides companies and destinations with a sustainable development path; a concrete toolkit for sustainable tourism that makes it easier to adopt sustainable practices and choices in everyday business. STF relies on existing sustainability standards already in use, rather than creating another standard. Finnish companies and destinations that undergo the entire program are recognized with the STF label and have access to a continuous development model, the latest information on sustainable tourism development, and marketing support.
