Swedish tourism and hospitality growth
Overview
Sweden’s tourism and hospitality sectors experienced significant growth during the summer months, driven by international visitors and specific travel trends.
National data indicates a surge in camping stays, with a 3.5 percent increase in overnight stays and a 4.9 percent rise in foreign guests. Key markets for camping include Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands. The hotel sector also saw record performance; between June and August, occupied rooms increased by 4 percent and revenues rose by 12 percent, supported by a 9 percent increase in average prices. International hotel stays grew by 14 percent, with notable spikes from American and Spanish tourists.
On a regional level, Östersund reported a strong season with guest nights increasing by 3 percent in June and July. This local growth was attributed to the ‘coolcation’ trend, favorable mountain weather, and a high volume of returning Norwegian guests. Hotel revenue per available room in the region rose by 11 percent.
