Meeting 10.03.2010

So it begins! Our business is Hirvilampi and our assignment is to look 5 years ahead. What vision do we see for Hirvilampi? How can our business modify over the next several years (in a realistic and feasible manner) to become a destination? Where people come to Turku because of Hirvilampi, not where people come to Hirvilampi because they're going to be in Turku.
