Finnair lists four top experiences in Finland that crowns it the happiness capital of the world
As the world’s happiest country for sixth time in a row, Finland has announced extensive plans for celebrating the World Happiness Day on March 20.
According to a press statement by Finnair, one of the world’s oldest operating airlines and the national carrier of Finland, the Nordic nation has once again claimed the top spot as the world’s happiest country, attributed to its natural beauty, high quality of life and a strong sense of community.
The airline says that the Finns place great importance on preserving the great outdoors and in Helsinki, sustainability plays a key role in the lives of Helsinkians. The capital is aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030 and was ranked the fourth most sustainable travel destination in 2023.
Highlighting the direct flights connecting Delhi to Helsinki India, Finnair lists four top experiences in Finland that crowns it the happiness capital of the world:
The great outdoors
The airline says that Finland’s natural landscapes, including forests, lakes, and pristine wilderness areas, offer ample opportunities for outdoor recreation and relaxation. Access to nature is deeply ingrained in Finnish culture, promoting physical and mental well-being.
Safe and Steady environment
According to the airline, Finland is a destination which is extremely safe and has a steady environment to live in. Safety is one of the most important aspects for Finnish people. Another very important factor is free education that ensures equal opportunities for kids growing up regardless of their family’s economic backgrounds, along with free public healthcare.
The very ‘Finnish’ things
The statement adds that Finns take immense pride in their cultural heritage, cherishing traditions that have been passed down through generations. From the tranquil ritual of sauna bathing and refreshing swims in natural waters to savouring delicious cuisine made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, there are certain quintessentially ‘Finnish’ experiences that evoke joy and contentment among the Finnish people.
The lovely and lively ‘Finns’
Last but not least, the people living in Finland are perceived to be very warm and welcoming. Respect, honesty, and trust are the basis of people’s values, with also a good sense of humour.
