Metsähallitus decided to simplify the off-road traffic permit based on feedback from companies.

In future, safari operators will only need one off-road permit per safari.

Until last winter, companies needed several separate off-road permits for the same activity; one for each company, one for each guide and one for each customer.

Metsähallitus simplified the permit based on feedback.

The company must agree on the safari activity and the grooves used in it with Metsähallitus in advance.
