Visit Finland and 60 other Finnish tourism companies and regions, have signed the Glasgow Declaration for Climate Action in Tourism in June 2022. The Glasgow Declaration signatories commit themselves to cut their CO2 emissions in half during this decade and will work to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

The Glasgow Declaration is the most comprehensive statement about climate change in the tourism sector. The declaration provides a framework that, for the first time, brings together all operators in the tourism industry around these shared commitments in five different ways: measuring and reducing CO2 emissions, reforming policies, increasing cooperation, and securing funding needed for development. 

“Visit Finland wants to do its part in achieving these goals, and our strategy is guiding us towards an inclusive and professional industry as well as a holistically sustainable travel destination that will be carbon-neutral by 2035”, says Kristiina Hietasaari, the senior director of Visit Finland. 

As of June 30, the COVID-19 restrictions upon entry to Finland are no longer in place. Arriving EU, Schengen and third-country travelers will no longer be required to hold vaccination or COVID-19 test certificates, and tests will not be carried out at border crossing points.
