Responsible tourism
Responsible tourism is an important focus point and development target in the tourism strategy of the Tourist & Convention Bureau. It is also the guiding principle for the development and marketing of tourism on the whole.
To promote responsible operations, the www.visithelsinki.fi website includes a “Sustainable tourism” section that lists eco-friendly companies and services in Helsinki.
This work is already creating results. The City of Helsinki has recognised the eco-friendly operations of IHA-Lines Oy by presenting the company with the Helsinki City Environmental Award in 2010.
