A select group of Australian travel agents recently travelled on a bespoke educational tour Finland, courtesy of 50 Degrees North, Finnair and Consolidated Travel.
The group experienced an architecture and design tour in Helsinki and finished the day with a gourmet dinner at the iconic Savoy Restaurant. Before flying to Lapland, the agents explored the Finnish countryside and visited Fiskars Artisan Village and Mustio Manor with a 4-course degustation lunch. In Lapland, they became acquainted with the indigenous Sami culture, visited the local Siida Sami Museum, enjoyed a cultural night with music performances, and made friends with reindeer at a local reindeer farm.
