Nature is at the heart of Häme, and we are deeply committed to its preservation. Our responsibility towards our region encompasses several key aspects: promoting local initiatives, maintaining a clean environment, and ensuring transparency in our operations. Visiting our region should be a source of joy, not guilt! Together, we can celebrate and protect the natural beauty of Häme.

You Can Make a Difference – Travel Responsibly

We encourage travelers to appreciate and protect nature by leaving no litter behind, sticking to designated paths, and respecting local culture and the environment. Everyone has the opportunity to make a difference by making responsible choices during their journey. On the site Ilmastodieetti.fi, you can learn about climate impacts, and with SITRA’s lifestyle calculator, you can test and plan your own sustainable lifestyle. On Visit Finland’s website, you can make your own pledge to respect Finland’s nature and culture. We hope that as many people as possible will promise to be responsible travelers and make a commitment to sustainability.
