Riikka Turunen from Kesälahti came up with the idea to win the Kitee Innovation Competition
Riikka Turunen, a returnee from Kärlahti, has been chosen as the winner of the innovation competition in the city of Kitee. A moderate 11 responses were received to the adult series of the Kitee innovation competition, of which Riikka Turunen's proposal clearly stood out.
- The idea that led to the victory of Riga is not only very topical, but also genuinely feasible, explains the decision by the judge of the innovation competition, Mikko Heickell, Business Manager of the City of Kitee.
- Realism and feasibility were important factors in deciding the winner. Nature tourism has been on the rise even before the exceptional circumstances, but especially now, with the stagnation of foreign tourism, the buoyancy has further accelerated. People have the time and desire to move around in nature. So there is a real order for the Riga idea, Heickell continues. Turunen proposes good guidance and story signs for the Mill Area, which tell good-natured true stories about the former Puhos. In the surrounding forests, he envisions restored trails with signposts.
- We Crystals get to live in the middle of wonderful nature and we are used to the pure nature around us and the variation of the seasons. Not everyone has this, and it is these people who go to seek experiences from places that have presented themselves using modern marketing channels, says Turunen. In Turunen's plans, social media plays an essential role in improving the visibility of tourist destinations. In addition to the Puhos area, Turunen hopes for recreation for the development of nature tourism in the entire Kitee area. In each village of Kitee, he said, it would be worthwhile to have at least one own hiking destination to offer to those who enjoy the outdoors.
- We have enough nature here, so each village in Kitee could bring out its own most beautiful hiking destination. In this way, those who enjoy nature tourism would have enough to experience in Kitee for several days, Turunen thinks. - Finnish consumers currently have a great potential for nature tourism and Kitee has the opportunity to meet this demand. Now would be the time to harness nature tourism destinations and bring them to the attention of hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, he continues. Business Manager Mikko Heickell knows that a beautiful environment has always been one of Kitee's strengths, but says that the rising industry in the 1970s preceded tourism. He sees the current trend as a great opportunity to re-seize the existing potential of the tourism industry and the opportunities it offers. This summer, the focus is obviously on domestic tourists, but in the future, the charm of Kitee is hoped to reach more and more foreign visitors as well. “Now is a good time to kick the wind, and the proposals put forward by Riga in its competition response, right down to marketing ideas, are honed, fresh and fully applicable in practice,” Heickell says.
If it was relatively easy to choose the winner of the adult series of the innovation competition, the series for children and young people will cause a pounding in front of it as well. There are several excellent proposals and the selection of the winner is still pending. Judge Mikko Heickell, who is judging the competition, is really pleased with the high level of the series. The winner will be announced later this summer.

五、风景名胜，景点( attractions)
1. Kitee Church
The Lutheran Church of Kitee is commonly referred to as the Stone Church. The gray-stone long church, designed by architect Frans Sjöström in the center of Kitee, was completed in 1886 and consecrated as an Epiphany in 1887. The first church in Kitee has been in Suorlahti and the construction period is thought to have been in the 1640s. On an old map from about 1650, there is also a church on the site of the present church in the church village, so it is thought that there were two churches in the parish at the time, both of which were apparently destroyed in the Rupult War. The new wooden church was completed around 1670 and the belfry in 1690. In the eradication of great hatred and petty hatred, the church deteriorated badly, as did the belfry. Construction of the next church began in 1757 and lasted four years. This cruciform church, named after Ulriika Eleonora, received a new separate belfry next to it in 1819. In 1842, lightning struck the pedestal, which was thoroughly repaired and dismantled only in 1897 as unnecessary. Ulrika Eleonora's church burned down in the summer of 1876, the cause of which remained unknown. The parish quickly built a temporary board church outside the churchyard, it was completed the same year. The board church was small and turned out to be fragile. The design of the new church began at the same time. The Senate no longer allowed the construction of a new wooden church, so the new sanctuary was made of local gray stone, which was enhanced with red brick masonry. The stone church was designed by Frans Sjöström, who, however, died in 1885 and did not see the church ready.
In the autumn of the wedding year, Laurikainen was repairing the church's tin roof. Apparently, the glowing coals used as an aid at work escaped into the roof structures and from there into the other wooden parts of the church, completely destroying the interior of the church. The church was not insured and after the trials the bill for compensation for the damage fell entirely on the parish. Over the next three years, the church was restored to its former state. An external contractor was not used, but the construction committee took care of the repairs, some of the members of the committee paid their own share as construction work. The church was rededicated on September 28, 1890.

3. Studio Monttu
Studio Monttu is one of the best examples of how Kitee works. Music enthusiasts missed the spaces, and got them. There was a need for better and better equipment and connections, and they were obtained. Now for music lovers there is only the sky as a limit! The world is open as far as skills and enthusiasm carry, because coping with technology is not stuck. In addition to the city center, music also plays in the villages. Röskö Island is home to camping activities, including the music camp Rösk’n Roll. Music education produces a visible and audible harvest, as many music professionals have tuned in their overtones at Kitee. Not to mention all of them for whom music is not a profession, but an accompanying lifestyle enhancer.
