Tourism aid frees up money for cities to support their airports.
The cities of Lappeenranta and Mikkeli are proposed to receive a total of €1 million in tourism aid in the government’s budget supplement.
According to preliminary information, the amount would be divided equally between Lappeenranta and Mikkeli.
– This will save cities money that they can use to support their own airports, for example,” Torniainen says in a press release.
The newspaper Etelä-Saimaa also talks about supporting tourism. According to the newspaper’s anonymous government sources, tourism support is specifically about supporting airports.
