SKÅL INTERNATIONAL
Skål is a professional organisation of tourism leaders around the world, promoting global tourism and friendship. It is the only international group uniting all branches of the travel and tourism industry. Its members, the industry's managers and executives, meet at local, national, regional and international levels to discuss and pursue topics of common interest.
In Finland we have two Skål Clubs, one in Helsinki (Skål International Helsinki ry.) and one in Turku (Skål International Turku ry.). A national committee acts as a common body between these clubs.
