Helsinki to make travel easier for Chinese tourists

Helsinki is planning to work with Chinese mobile apps to make travel easier for Chinese tourists, while the city's mayor is looking forward to more hotel chains from China boosting the city's hospitality capacity.

On Sept 5, Helsinki Marketing, a marketing company owned by Finland's capital, Tencent and Finnair signed a cooperation agreement to make travel information more accessible for Chinese tourists through their phones.

Helsinki mayor Jan Vapaavuori said in an interview with China Daily that the behaviors of Chinese tourists in Helsinki are changing and the city is making travel easier, such as launching a digital travel guide on WeChat, one of the most popular Chinese apps.
