The project was funded by the Lapland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment/European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, and carried out by the Multidimensional Tourism Institute (Lapland UAS and University of Lapland) along with the School of Industry and Natural Resources of Lapland UAS.
