We are all striving to reduce emissions in travel and prioritize the use of our working hours effectively. Now, RYMY 2025. buyers have a great opportunity to do just that while experiencing highlights of group programs in the Koli and Nurmes region by joining the RYMY pre-tour weekend familiarization trip. This nature-focused pre-tour showcases the core area of Koli National Park, conveniently explored by the group’s private coach. Along the way, we will see the shores of Lake Pielinen, ancient primeval forests, Koli village, and the peaks of Koli’s hills. A guide will share stories about Koli’s history, nature, and culture throughout the journey.
After the tour, discussions will continue with companies at RYMY 2025.
