Attraction of Orthodox Culture, Investment Project

The objective of the investment project is to develop an attractive and cozy Orthodox cultural quarter in Joensuu in the yard area between the Orthodox Cultural Centre and the Orthodox Seminar. The yard area implemented in the investment project serves as a piloting platform for the Orthodox culture of Vetovoima during the development project. The development project plans and pilots tourism activities and service concepts in the yard area. It is essential for the development of tourism products that the functional areas are located nearby and in good condition. In this way, they serve the development of tourism products and their marketing. The investment project results in a cozy Orthodox cultural quarter in Joensuu. The block increases awareness of the Orthodox culture and promotes tourism in the province, which is part of the plans of both the city of Joensuu and the Regional Council of North Karelia.
