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.

Hotel revenue per available room in the region rose by 11 percent.
