Sustainable tourism, saving the natural resources and the respect for nature hold paramount importance for Father Christmas in Lapland. Christmas House Santa & Safaris has been recognized in spring 2024 for its commitment to these principles by achieving the EcoCompass and  Sustainable Travel Finland certificates.

 

EcoCompass, akin to the Green Key, represents an Environmental Management System (EMS) and serves as a testament to the organization’s dedication to sustainability.

 

Visit Finland has developed the Sustainable Travel Finland programme for tourism companies and destinations. The companies that undergo the entire programme and meet the criteria, are awarded with Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label. STF programme provides companies and destinations with a concrete toolkit for developing sustainable tourism, which makes it easier to systematically adopt sustainable measures and choices into the everyday life.  Companies and destinations awarded with STF label have access to a continuous development model, the latest information on the sustainable travel development, marketing support, and additional visibility through Visit Finland’s channels.
