The Bothnian Coastal Route project, including northern Finnish and Swedish destinations, aims to increase awareness of the coastal area around the Bothnian Bay and over the Kvarken strait, as an attractive travel route for both international tourists and locals. Through the project cooperation, the partners intend to increase the reasons for visiting the destinations along the coasts, discover their rich product range, and create better conditions for sustainable growth. Contact any of our project leaders to know more about the project, the destinations or our offerings.
