The nordic tourism disembarcs in the Costa de la Luz with the first direct flight between Finnland and Jerez

The major Finnish tour-operator, Aurinkomatkat, will work on the airport of La Parra from 2007 on through the “good reception” of the province for the clients of the TUI Nordic wholesaler, with activity in Norway, Sweden, Finnland and Denmark, is in contact with the regional authorities in order to establish activities in Cádiz.

Within the next year the Costa de la Luz will approach the Nordic tourism market with the incentive of the first Finnish tour-operator, Aurinkomatkat. The company, dedicated to the organization and selling of vacations, confirmed yesterday that they will connect the airports Helsinki and Jerez with direct flights from 2007 on. There will be established a weekly connection with 144 seats between the airports Helsinki and La Parra in the months from May to October. The manoeuvre is prepared to transport up to 3.500 travellors to the province, more than 100% of the Finnish people who come to the province every year.

Aurinkomatkat decided to disembark in the terminal Jerez because of the good results that have been registered on the Costa de la Luz from the clients this year. The wholesaler will bring for the first time travellors to Cadiz, although via the airport of Málaga, with long trips and therefore annoying for the tourists. The inconveniences however didn´t prevent that the sales go in good rhythm and, only in hotels of Rota there are more than 600 of 1000 Finnish people expected. “With the flights to Malaga you cannot estimate the real potential of the Costa de la Luz in Finnland; but this year we have seen that it can work and therefore the bet of Aurinkomatmat is to fly to Jerez the next year”, pointed out representatives from TUI Spain, who will receive the Finnish people in the province.
