On December 6, 2016, Alipay landed at the Arctic Circle, announcing the official launch of the 12.12 global shopping festival. Alipay is now available in the Arctic Circle, launching at the Finnish Arctic Santa Claus Village, which is offering mobile payments for the first time. Chinese tourists will be able to use Alipay to search for nearby services such as food and entertainment, as well as to make payments. The attraction is the second location to offer the payment system in Finland, with the first being Helsinki Airport. “Customers can also buy goods from local shops using their phone or tablet without having to leave the comfort of home – a new way to experience shopping on the go,” said Antti Tuominen, CEO
