The Brand ConceptFinland´s travel branding is based on the key idea that in comparison with most other countries, Finland is the unconventional alternative to places crowded with tourists.

It offers fresh and genuine experiences that really take your breath away.

The main target group for brand marketing consists of open-minded people who have travelled a lot and are seeking new options.

The mindset of Finland is the mindset of a challenger.We are different and act differently. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it takes courage to go out onto the empty playground, since new things can awaken insecurity. To be the fi rst is the only way to stand out from the crowd and get people’s attention.

Visual Style The need to stand out led us to break the visual conventions. For additional info about the visual identity see the graphical guidelines at imagebank.visitfinland.com

Tone of voice In travel marketing realism and humour are rather unknown genres. We tell about Finland in a real, laid-back and honest way, with a touch of gentle self-irony and pride. Also the things that are not said are important. Sometimes the actions and pictures speak for themselves.

LET´S MAKE SURE THERE IS MORE ACTION THAN WORDS.

Visit Finland´s Travel Branding

As an unconventional travel destination, Finland is a fresh, individual alternative to places crowded with tourists. Finland is not something for everyone. Finland is something special.

In the travel market, Finland is a challenger. Like Apple in the computer business, the VW Beetle in cars, or Virgin in airlines. As such we have the responsibility to act like one. To break the conventions and be brave.

This brand book is a brief introduction to Finland´s travel branding and its mindset.

What are the real strengths of Finland that should be communicated? How to act like a challenger brand? How to stand out?
