Our Commitment to Sustainable Travel

At Saaga Travel, we believe that travelling in Lapland should be an experience that respects the people, nature and communities that make this region special.

We are proud to be part of the Sustainable Travel Finland programme and are committed to continuously developing our operations towards more sustainable tourism. Sustainability is not a one-time project for us – it is an ongoing process of improving the way we work, travel and cooperate with our partners.

Responsible transportation

Transportation is at the heart of our business, and we recognise its environmental impact. We continuously work to make our transportation services more efficient by planning routes carefully, avoiding unnecessary driving and combining services whenever possible.

We maintain our vehicles regularly to ensure safe and efficient operation and select vehicles according to the needs of each group. We also work with our professional drivers to promote economical and responsible driving practices.

Supporting local businesses

We believe that tourism should benefit the communities where our guests travel.

Whenever possible, we cooperate with local accommodation providers, restaurants, activity companies and other service providers. By using local services and working with local partners, we help keep tourism revenue within the region and support local employment and expertise.

Respect for Lapland’s nature

Lapland’s nature is one of our most valuable resources. We encourage our guests to respect the environment, follow local guidelines and leave no trace when visiting natural areas.

Our services are planned with consideration for the surrounding environment, including responsible access to natural sites and respect for local communities and wildlife.

People and local culture

Sustainable tourism is also about people.

We respect the local communities and cultures of the destinations where we operate. We aim to introduce our guests to Lapland in a respectful way and encourage responsible behaviour towards local traditions, communities and cultural heritage.

We also believe that good working conditions, professional development and a safe working environment are an essential part of sustainable tourism.

Continuous improvement

Sustainability is a journey, and there is always room for improvement.

As part of our Sustainable Travel Finland commitment, we regularly review our operations and identify ways to reduce our environmental impact, strengthen our cooperation with local communities and improve the social and economic sustainability of our business.

We want our guests to experience Lapland with the knowledge that their journey is organised with care for the destination, for the people and for future generations.

Travel responsibly. Experience Lapland. Leave a positive footprint.
