Rovaniemi’s lively air traffic is also reflected in the neighborhood: Ranua Tourism broke records

People visiting Ranua Zoo — Ranua Resort, or Ranua Region Tourism, had a turnover of approximately EUR 1.4 million more than the previous year.

According to Johanna Koivunen, CEO of Ranua Resort, accessibility is a prerequisite for growth.

Ranua Resort aka Ranuan Seudun Tourism Oy made the best operating result in its history last year, the company reports.

The company’s net sales were EUR 6.8 million, which is approximately EUR 1.4 million more than the previous year.

Koivunen is delighted with a record result and says that the role of Lapland’s tourism has been in his role.

– Yes, the growth of Rovaniemi air traffic is also reflected in us. Accessibility is a prerequisite for growth, making it easy to come here. We are in this Rovaniemi armpit, an hour from the airport and it has been a really important growth driver, Koivunen sums up.

Customers from Ranua also arrive from Kuusamo and Oulu. Koivunen mentions that Ranua is well located near the three airports: when Rovaniemi Airport is an hour away, it is a couple of hours from Kuusamo and Oulu to Ranua.

Last year, the company updated the zoo’s premises by starting, among other things, the refurbishment of the polar bear.

During the current financial year, the company’s gaze is also on the development of year -roundness and in summer sales for international markets.
