FINLAND: Helsinki Travel Award



First Ever Helsinki Travel Award goes to Design District Helsinki, HELtours and Founders of Royal Ravintolat.

Helsinki Tourism Foundation announced the winners of the very first Helsinki Travel Award on Thursday 8 October 2015. The goal of the acknowledgement is to present parties and actions that have had a positive impact on the development of tourism in the Helsinki region. This year the prizes were awarded to Design District Helsinki, HELtours, and the founders of Royal Ravintolat (Restaurants) Mia and Kasperi Saari and Pertti Hynninen.
The award is worth a total of 10,000 euros, and it was presented for the first time this year to two different parties. An acknowledgement was awarded to a third party. In future, the Helsinki Travel Award will be awarded annually.

Design District Helsinki received a prize worth 6,000 euros. Design District Helsinki is a collaborative service helping travellers get to know Helsinki in the field of design. The concept was created by an active network of creative people and businesses.

HELtours was awarded a prize worth 4,000 euros. HELtours organizes interactive biking tours in Helsinki, offering travellers the possibility to experience Helsinki at its best, while giving them access to places which more traditional guided tours cannot reach.

The founders of Royal Ravintolat as well as boutique hotels Hotel Haven and Fabian, Mia and Kasperi Saari, and Pertti Hynninen, were awarded an acknowledgement for their notable accomplishment in generating stylish culinary experiences and cozy overnight stays in Helsinki. They have established a steady supply of good restaurants in Helsinki.
