Join the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) Training – Now Also in English! 

We are organizing a comprehensive Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) training program for tourism businesses in the Rovaniemi area. These practical and well-received training sessions will take place in April and May and will primarily be held in Finnish. However, we will also offer one full-day training session in English.

10.4.2025: 9-16 STF Basic Training in English (Juhlapirtti, Lähteentie 1, 96400 Rovaniemi)

During the day, guided steps and tasks of the STF path are carried out. The company understands the requirements of the STF path and is capable of progressing independently along the path.

Why join the training? 

Meet industry requirements. Travel operators are increasingly demanding sustainability from service providers, and it impacts everything from marketing to partnerships. 

Secure funding more easily. Investors and funding bodies, including ELY Centers, require proof of sustainability. The STF label is a recognized way to demonstrate your commitment. 

Simplify the certification process. Even if your business already follows sustainable practices, earning the STF label strengthens your credibility and increases your visibility.

What participants say about the training? 

"The training helped us get started with the application, which had seemed complicated before. In fact, we completed the application during the trainings – without this, we might not have finished it at all." 

"You get valuable information, assistance with forms, peer support, and fresh ideas." 

"It’s a great chance to gain new insights, network with others, and get support on your sustainability journey."
