When it was asked that are people really planning to move to either Finland or Estonia, only 23% of Estonian workers and 9% of non-workers were planning to move. Similarly only 4% of Finnish workers are planning to move and 2% of non-workers. It was also asked, how much money the travelers use on their travels. On average, Estonians and Finns use both approximately 220â‚Ź per visit. Finns use most money in accommodation and then shopping, groceries, souvenirs, alcohol and other things. Interestingly, Finns use more money in other shopping than alcohol. Estonians use most money in accommodation and shopping, mostly groceries. It is noticed that public transport is not very popular in neither of the harbours, only 7% of the working Finns and 13% of the non-working Finns and 17% of the working Estonians and 23% of the non-working Estonians used public transport while leaving the port area in the destination country. Estonians used mostly their own private car (36% of workers and 24% of non-workers) and Finns were going on foot (28% of workers and 40% of non-workers). Also Finns used a lot of their own car (17% of workers and 14% of non-workers), but for Estonians going by foot was rare (10% or workers and 25% of non-workers). Also taxi was a popular mode of transport for Finns (27% of non-workers and 18% of workers), but not so much for Estonians (13% of workers and 11% of non-workers). We also learned that people come to harbours mainly the same way they leave the harbours.
