Rovaniemi has built up a large industry around Santa's village.
New Delhi: If you want the perfect Christmas this year, Rovaniemi in northern Finland is the place to be.
Home to Santa Claus, Rovaniemi has built up a large industry around Santa's village at the Arctic Circle, some 2,600 km from the North Pole with reindeer safaris, driving huskies and of course, a chance to meet Santa.
It is one of the largest employers in an area where unemployment is traditionally high.
Lately winters have been getting warmer in the area and the snow which is all important is no longer a certainty.
Around half a million visitors from all over the world jet in around Christmas for a day-trip to the Santa village learning to drive huskies, tasting local delicacies and hoping to see the Northern lights.
