Tourists leave luxury winter jackets behind in Lapland hotels
Tourists visiting Lapland often leave behind expensive winter clothing after their trips, creating a growing issue in Rovaniemi. Many travelers purchase winter gear specifically for their trip but discard it when it doesn’t fit in their luggage or isn’t needed back home. The phenomenon has been observed for several years, particularly during the peak tourism season.
At Arctic Hotel Collection, General Manager Miko Gröhn says dozens of bags filled with discarded clothing and accessories, including branded items, are left behind each winter.
