International congress tourism is on the rebound in Finland and Oulu after years of high interest rates
Last year, 26 international congresses were held in Oulu and are calculated to have brought a total of €3.3 million to the city.
Oulu was the sixth largest city in Finland in terms of the number of congresses organised.
Since the boom years, physical events have returned and accounted for around two thirds of both congresses and attendance. Only one in ten congresses was now held in virtual format alone.
