It is with incredible pride to present the news that Survivor will be filmed in the Haparanda archipelago, with Cape East as the base for production, this summer. This means a great deal to Haparanda, to the whole region and for us. It is an incredible chance for the region and us at Cape East and Pite Havsbad Group to show off our fantastic part of the country, with the unique nature we have, not least the midnight sun and a fantastic archipelago.
We get to show off the finest there is, and we got the production in fierce competition with many other places in Sweden.
Just think what a showcase we get, a program that has over a million viewers each episode and 50 episodes, I get goosebumps when I think about it. I also think that this is just the beginning, Survivor is recorded in 33 countries in the world and other countries might open their eyes to the area.
Cape East will be the base for television production. This means that the facility will be open for tourism until July 20, then dedicated to production for Survivor until September 6.
I want to highlight the teamwork as a winner in a tough domestic competitive situation. In the short term alone, this will lead to over 100 jobs. It is like a gift from above for Norrbotten in corona times.
We have in a short time made a fantastic mobilization with the fantastic power that the county possesses. Entrepreneurs, employees, municipal representatives, the region and authorities have all been helpful. Thank you for an incredibly good collaboration – Haparanda Municipality, Region Norrbotten, the County Administrative Board, Mastiff, TV4 and many, many more in the region who helped to make this possible.
