Tourists made last-minute decisions: the Vuokatti autumn holiday turned out to be almost like last year’s

Cars in the parking lot are at risk in Vuokatti.
On Wednesday, Vuokatinvaara’s parking lots were full of outdoor enthusiasts’ cars.

The high season has changed the behaviour of tourists and holidays are booked later. Tourists are also expected next week, as people from the Oulu region have traditionally come to Vuokatti for their holidays.

The current autumn holiday week seems to be a good one for tourists in Vuokatti.

Accommodation providers report that this year accommodation has been booked later than normal. Some suggest that this may be a post-corona phenomenon.

Last year, the autumn holiday week saw record sales, but this year there were uncertainties for a long time. Vuokatti will not quite match last year’s figures, although the current week looks good.

– Just a month ago, there were few reservations. That can also be important, when Eden in Oulu is now closed, people want to come here for spa holidays as well, Rimpiläinen anticipates the upcoming fall holiday week in the Oulu region.

Rimpiläinen says that people traditionally come to Vuokatti for vacation from the direction of Oulu.

– There are also a lot of families in traffic. Reservations are coming later than before, Kuorelahti sums up.
