Travel Trade & Group Sales

Santa Claus Reindeer is a locally owned tourism and reindeer company in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland. The company is led by CEO and reindeer herder Janne Körkkö, whose local knowledge and experience with reindeer guide the way we operate and develop our experiences.

Our reindeer experiences are offered in Santa Claus Village and at Taava Reindeer Farm, with products for FIT travellers, families, private groups, series and larger groups. In Santa Claus Village, our services also include Mrs Santa Claus’ Christmas Cottage and Lapland Restaurant Kotahovi, giving our partners additional ways to build programmes for their clients at the Arctic Circle.

We work with tour operators, travel agencies, incoming agencies and DMCs around the world – from established partners to new and specialised operators. For us, a good partnership starts with shared values: care for the reindeer, respect for the local community and nature, and a genuine interest in creating experiences where guests spend time with reindeer and learn something new about their life in Lapland.

Whether you are looking for an easy-to-book experience for FIT clients or planning programmes for groups, our sales team is here to help you find the right options.
