Liki Stay - New online booking channel for tourism

New platform covers accommodation, activities, equipment rental, travel packages, and destination guides, all from local operators, at lower commission 

Tietotalo Infocenter Oy, the company behind Finland's most popular tourism solutions, is launching Likistay.com. A new travel platform that directly challenges global giants such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and GetYourGuide across every dimension of the traveler journey. 

Likistay.com is not an accommodation-only platform. It is a full-spectrum destination platform covering accommodation, activities, equipment rental, travel packages, and an editorial destination guide, everything a traveler needs, in one place, booked directly with local operators. 

International platforms have fragmented the travel experience: one platform for accommodation, another for activities, a third for gear rental. For Finnish tourism destinations, this fragmentation means multiple commission relationships, multiple customer data silos, and no single tool that works for the full range of what local operators actually offer. 

Likistay.com brings it together: 

• Accommodation: hotels, resorts, guesthouses, cottages, cabins, and private holiday homes 

• Activities: guided safaris, tours, experiences, outdoor adventures 

• Equipment rental: snowmobiles, skis, boats, bikes, and specialist gear 

• Packages: bundled offerings direct from operators, combining their accommodation and activities 

• Digital Guide: destination content, travel itineraries, and local tips that connect travelers to the experiences worth booking 

A traveler planning a Lapland winter trip can find and book their cabin, reserve their Icebreaker cruise, rent snowmobiles, and get inspired by local itinerary guides, all through one platform, all transacting with the operators who actually run those experiences. 

Tourism businesses across Finland, particularly in regional destinations like Lapland, have long depended on international platforms that extract 15–30% in commission per booking, retain control of the customer relationship, and store customer data on servers outside the European Union. 

likistay.com was built to change this: 

• 10% total commission: permanently lower than international alternatives, leaving significantly more income with local operators 

• EU data sovereignty guaranteed: all data stored and processed within the EU; operators retain ownership of their customer relationships 

• Direct API integration possibilities: seamless connection to the booking and channel management systems operators already use 

"We have decades of experience building and maintaining the most demanding tourism solutions in Finland. We know exactly what tourists and tourism businesses need. Likistay.com is not just a new website, it is a fair, local counterforce to global platform monopolies, and it covers the full range of what tourism actually offers."
