Near Lake Näsijärvi, in an area of \u200b\u200b15 hectares, we want to find an attractive business idea for unique lake and nature tourism.

The city of Tampere has opened an idea competition for the development of the Maisansalo area. Near Lake Näsijärvi, in an area of \u200b\u200b15 hectares, they want to find a new leisure business concept that would create opportunities for unique lake and nature tourism.

The winning idea can include, for example, accommodation, culture, entertainment, sports and recreation services. Mere leisure living is not enough in itself. The main goal is to find a credible, innovative and attractive concept.

We hope for open-minded and bold competition proposals

– We want to find an implementer or a group of implementers that is responsible for the high-quality planning and implementation of the area. The city of Tampere will then continue to develop the area in cooperation with the winner of the competition, says Kamppari.\n The city of Tampere is prepared for a possible site plan change and to hand over the plots and buildings required by the plan to the winner of the competition. The winner of the competition is responsible for financing, planning and building the project, either by himself or with partners.
