This document discusses the creation of Åland Disc Golf Island as a tourist destination. Key points include:
- The idea was born during the COVID-19 pandemic to attract outdoor recreation tourists to Åland.
- 16 disc golf courses were rapidly built, more than any other location per capita. This set a world record.
- The project launched in July 2020 and has been very successful in attracting both Finnish and international disc golf tourists and increasing tourism spending on the islands.
- Over 1.3 million rounds have been played on the courses in the first year and a half, significantly boosting local economic activity and recreation for residents. The goal is now to further develop disc golfing and extend the tourism season.
