Quindi questo è apparso nel mio feed e anche se sono allergico al tipo vatnik in generale, vorrei chiedervi, cari vicini, quanta verità si nasconde dietro questa affermazione. Condividendo un confine con i russi, immagino che tu sia più colpito di noi. L’industria turistica finlandese sta soffrendo adesso? O è un miglioramento non dover soddisfare i russi rumorosi e fastidiosi?

I know that one river boat entrepreneur from eastern Finland went crying to Russia Today about the sanctions against Russia and the closing of the border. As far as I know, only a few pro-russian people whine about these things.
Most of us don’t miss Russian tourists at all.
It’ll cost more to keep it open
Voi ei, joka tapauksessa…
Where’s that 10 billion € claim coming from?
No-one misses Russians. Tourists or not.
There was a some impact felt near the border – like, in Lappeenranta I noticed that the large supermarkets aren’t as crowded as they used to be. I’m sure there are some hamburger kiosks that are also not happy – and someone already mentioned a certain boat tour operator. But all in all the impact is rather limited.
Value of Ruzzian tourism was around 2 billion at best. I don’t think there are that many who miss them.
The areas were already emptying, because business was better southwest and that dragged brains and money away from the east and the importance of Russian tourism was mainly because the hinterlands have little else going for them. The war hastened this development. As for why international investment in eastern Finland has been on decline for a decade is because companies actually do geopolitcial risk analysis and rarely risk building anything too close to a place that has an ages old reputation for shitting up everything too close to it. This tweet seems to be targeted to the home crowd judging by the handle.
I’ve been enjoying traveling in the eastern cities that I would have otherwise skipped.
No Russian tourists really benefits these areas. Especially the spas are super nice now.
It is a high price. Keeping border open, letting those genocidal cunts in our country would be even higher a price.
russia been weaponizing refugees and imigrants all over their western border. They’ve offered people literal free passes from Syria through russia under condition these folks enter Europe. Leaving border open would mean chaos.
Hopefully the border will never open again.
No one needs or misses them.
Sure you loose some tourism money but it is for right cause.
Unfortunate, but unavoidable. Russia should be held accountable for this.
Yes – Border checpoints have been closed
Yes – There has been impact on economy (on a small scale)
No – There isn’t towns dissappearing
Turist situation is more complicated. Turism in lapland, for example, is doing well, but in cities near border where tourism has been mainly for russian tourists quite not so well.
What comes to the €10 bil I have only hear that the President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen promised €230 mil to borderline security
