Core values

- **Economic Impact**: Visitor spending in Finnish national parks amounts to over EUR 219 million, which is a 3.7% increase from the previous year, significantly contributing to local economies[1].
- **Health Benefits**: Outdoor activities in national parks reduce societal costs by EUR 164 million annually, primarily through reducing chronic diseases and maintaining work ability. Over 10 years, this could amount to EUR 1.6 billion in savings[2].
- **Public Health and Well-being**: Nature visits enhance physical activity, reduce stress, and improve social well-being and communality. Visitors estimate the health and well-being benefits at about EUR 100 per visit[1][5].
