The Finnish keep the "experience economy" concept in mind while hosting sports events. The Lahti stadium, as the host of seven skiing world championships, succeeded in combining ski sports with entertainment, relaxation, and tourism. According to Janne Leskinen, organizing committee executive of the 2017 Lahti World Champions, the focus is more on the game-watching experience, and provides tailored services to families and partygoers.
