About transportation: • “Tallinn-Helsinki connections are good and run like clockwork" • " First, the production of the Estonian factory is taken to Rovaniemi, and then
transported to other destinations. In the future, once the factory is working properly, we could think about establishing a distribution centre either in Tallinn or Helsinki. "
• "I have never left Helsinki port in less than half an hour, irrespective of travel class. Especially when you board a ship at the end of the day, you are stuck in a traffic jam."
• "I have checked, reaching the first traffic light when leaving the ship in D-terminal takes 20 minutes. Something should be done there. Automobiles should enter traffic quicker"
Interviews of business people

About business relations: • "At the moment, a lot of consolidation is taking place. More and more
specialists are exchanged between different countries. Joint sales activity is also taking place."
• " In Estonia, we do it faster, but often have to do it again because of that." • " There are definitely going to be more and more of Estonian success stories
in Finland. The Estonian market is too small. “ • " Tallinn and Helsinki are far from being twin cities just yet. There are very
many differences, especially in mentality. Finland is ticking on peacefully, more things are going on here. Estonia has established very good conditions for starting a business and doing something. In Finland, you need a lot of documents when starting a business, and there is nothing on the Internet. In that matter, Estonia is ahead of them and is not restricted by idiotic demands.

" It turns out from interviews made with students that they came to study in Estonia because Tallinn is like a part of Helsinki. They see Tallinn as a logical location, where living is cheap and something takes place in the evenings. And the money is the same"

Summary • There are more than 7 million people travelling between Finland and Estonia; the
number is increasing, but not radically. The number of air travelers is under 3 %. Main reason for air travel is time saving.
• Estonians travel both for leisure (incl. visiting friends and relatives) and for work almost for equal shares. Most Estonians stay in Finland more than a day, but less than a month. Only 12% of Estonians stay in a hotel, most stay with relatives, employee's or own apartment, or it is only a day-trip.
• Half of the Finns travel only for one day, mostly on week-ends and stay overnight in hotels. About 10% of Finns are working, less than half in meetings. Many Finns come to Estonia usually only once or twice a year.
• The number of Estonians and Finns on business travel are approximately the same. • About 14% of Estonians and Finns are in transit. Estonians are mainly going to the
airport and Finns in transit continue to Baltic States. • Cargo transport has been constantly increasing; it is mainly lorries with drivers
carrying general cargo. Last 10 years the trade between Estonia and Finland is almost constant; intra-industrial trade and transit southbound are the ones increasing.
• Estonians use very much private cars; Finns travel from harbor by feet. Passenger cars on board have been increasing tremendously.

INCREASING TRAFFIC - passengers, workers and leisure travelers
- lorries - private cars
Conflicting interests - passengers to centre centre
- private cars outside the centre - lorries outside the city.
