In Lapland, tourists spend more money on programme services than in the rest of Finland. In 2019, programme services were the second largest expenditure of tourists in Lapland (29%). The source of the statistics is the Rudolf statistics database and Statistics Finland's data.

The area around the Ranua Animal Park is ideally suited for animal programme service businesses such as Husky parks, reindeer parks and horse services. Carefully designed structures and routes ensure smooth and safe movement. Optimal spacing, terrain-sensitive routing and accessibility reduce disturbance and ensure a pleasant user experience for entrepreneurs, clients and animals alike.

Snowmobile safaris are an integral part of the winter programme. Changes will be made to the route around the zoo to ensure safety and allow for the production of snowmobile safaris by more operators.

Husky parks

Reindeer parks 1-3

Areas suitable for reindeer or horse services are planned in good locations in the immediate vicinity of the core area of the Ranuan Animal Park tourist area, but still in such a way that good conditions can be provided for the animals. As part of the spatial planning, sites for fencing, service buildings and housing will be reserved.

World of snow

The plan includes a special place for snow adventures, in a good location close to other services. Possible options could include a snow castle, a bobsleigh, a snow maze, a children's sledding hill or ice rinks.

Adventure Park

The hillside area will allow the construction of an adventure park with ropeways and climbing routes in an active tourist area popular with children.

The area already has excellent visibility and accessibility, so the conditions for growth are excellent.
