Tourism development in Satakunta

In tourism development, we lead the tourism industry towards a more sustainable and intelligent business. We offer the tourism sector skills, competencies, information, and tools. This provides opportunities for peer support and collaborative efforts to enhance business competitiveness and profitability.

At SAMK, we have gathered our research, development, and innovation activities into research centres. Tourism development forms one of these research entities. Research on Tourism development is concentrated at SAMK’s Center for Tourism Business Development.
