Santa’s Hotel Tunturi and Santa’s Hotel Aurora, which belong to the Santa’s Hotels hotel chain, have been granted Visit Finland’s Sustainable Travel Finland labels. Tunturi and Aurora are the first hotels in the Santa’s Hotels chain to receive the STF label. The chain is also pursuing for STF labels for its other hotels in the near future.

The Sustainable Travel Finland label is a sustainability label awarded by Visit Finland, which is used to communicate sustainable actions to the tourists. In order to receive the label, companies must go through the STF program and meet all the required criteria according to international standards.

Sustainability work is continuous work, and the STF label is renewed regularly. The brand’s criteria are updated at regular intervals so that the actions of tourism operators meet up-to-date sustainability obligations.

Santa’s Hotel Tunturi and Santa’s Hotel Aurora were also granted the international tourism Green Key sustainability certificates in August 2024.

“It’s great to receive visible recognition for the sustainability work we’ve been doing for a long time in the forms of the Green Key certificate and the STF label. We started the application process in July 2024, when our goal was to get both the Green Key and the STF label by the end of 2024. This goal was clearly fulfilled, and this is a good spot to continue with our daily sustainability work,” says Santa’s Hotel Tunturi’s hotel director My Manner.

“We are proud that we have completed both the Green Key certificate and the STF label so quickly. We understand very well that it is a sustainable tourism development path and we are committed to taking this sustainable path forward by constantly developing our operations”, continues Santa’s Hotel Aurora’s hotel director Terhi Kangas.
