A New Annual Gathering for the Tourism Industry – The First Koli Horizons on February 13–14
Speakers include a leading expert in international tourism investments from London, the director of Komoot — a navigation and route planning service with over 40 million users — and the CEO of Lomallo Oy, a travel booking service.
Organized for the first time and aimed at tourism professionals, Koli Horizons offers timely insights into topics related to Finland’s tourism sector.
The program features top experts from both Finland and abroad, addressing key issues such as investments crucial for the development of tourism.
“Keynote speaker, Aksel Bratvedt, has been actively working with Finnish companies on investment matters and is well placed to guide Finnish travel destinations, landowners and operators on how their projects are evaluated by international investors and what makes them attractive. In recent years, he has gained first-hand insights into connecting companies with investors in Finland from his headquarters in London,” says Heikki Rusanen, CEO of Lieksa Development Company Lieksan Kehitys Oy LieKe.
How to Reach 40 Million Outdoor Enthusiasts?
Iris Wermescher, Director of Business Development at Komoot, will explain how the service has successfully gathered over 40 million registered users worldwide and how it is gaining popularity in Finland.
“We will delve into who these 40 million users, registered over Komoot’s 15-year history, are, how the service inspires outdoor enthusiasts to explore Finland, and how Finnish tourism operators can reach travelers particularly interested in outdoor activities,” Wermescher says.
