Coastal experiences all year round, with sustainability in focus

Bothnian Coastal Route

The Bothnian Coastal Route project, including northern Finnish and Swedish destinations, aims to increase awareness of the coastal route around the Bothnian Bay and over the Kvarken strait as an attractive travel route for both foreign visitors and the local population.

Through the project, the Finnish and Swedish partners aim to increase the reasons for visiting the destinations along the route to discover their rich product range and create better conditions for sustainable growth.
