Winter season is over and what a success it was. We saw the Auroras every second night and also established the new whatsapp channel for the Aurora Alerts in Sea Lapland for anyone to follow freely when the Northern Lights occur. It seems we have reached the point where Auroras can be guaranteed if just customers are willing to postpone or cancel the cloudy nights off. So if you need to catch the Auroras or already work on the tourism field in Sea Lapland just subscribe in on the Alert channel to nail the beautiful bastards more often down!
Tourist season started with ackward situation when almost everybody else had the problems on getting enough snow but here in Kemi we skied at Junko first snow track and icetrekked the Old Kemi Laitakari island already in November. Having the Jewelry Gallery installed inside the Laplan… Bothnian Bay for whole Christmas season was just something you don’t see every day.
In Aurora Hunts and Chases we also moved to the new era when getting out from single stationery spots to more mobile systems. Former we had the problem of keeping everybody alive when the winter hits the coldest but now with the busses we can operate more freely greeting also the wheelchairs etc warmly welcomed onboard.
For future development we have also opened now up Tornio-Haparanda, Rovaniemi and Oulu cities for Santa Survival, City Tour and the Auroras. Running 10 years tourist services in Kemi around Snowcastle area has taught me to handle various customers at the same time so next winter it is challenging to see if the carousel still keeps on rocking when multitasking. If you already operate with some kind of functional activity on these cities contact me for the co-operation.
On summer we focus on Resurrecting Rungius to get also Keminmaa side of the tourist services decently running. In overall Keminmaa municipality should team up with VisitKemi to get on the Tru.. Train. Tornio is already married to Haparanda and if Sea Lapland area is not associating together the only reasonable option seems to be partnering with Kemi. Now we miss the marketing channels of Kemi, Sampo and Snowcastle just because the municipality line is so close to the city. But anyways every operator should be backing up the Kemi airport and connecting it decently to the Finnish and European railroad network. It is just 500 metres to the terminal.
For the summer race season the first kilometres have been now run but without proper skiing kilometres the weight management seems to be the first issue on rehabilitation. 100 kg line is still far away and at least the calendar looks empty enough for losing.
