Finland’s embassy in Canberra has launched a tourism campaign that will select 16 single participants from around the world and fly them to Finnish Lapland for a curated dinner event, with all travel and accommodation costs covered by the organizers.

The initiative is framed as a promotional push for Finnish tourism and culture, with outlets including My Modern Met, Condé Nast Traveler, NewsNation, Yle and Politico describing the mechanics: an open application process, a blind-date format, and a multi-day itinerary centered on a single dinner gathering in the Arctic region.
