The number of foreign visiting Sweden climbed 3.3 percent in 2009, a new record high bucking the depression and a moribund European trend, new information from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth prove.
The information that Sweden has direct to benefit from the global depression results from a mixture of four factors, Peter Terpstra, an analyst at the agency told The Local on Wednesday.
"Firstly, the depression has meant that people are ongoing to travel but they are not traveling as far, the similar thing change that occurred after 9/11."
"Secondly, Sweden's money has been weak in relation to the euro and this has profited tourism during the recession."
Peter Terpstra highlight that these factors are fleeting and are not amazing on which to base a long term tourism policy, but he added that the approval of specific measures has also improved Sweden as a tourist destination.
"Tourist communications has improved in Sweden. I am mainly referring to improved flight relations to Europe, the main tourist market in the world."
"Lastly, Trip to Sweden - the Swedish tourist panel - was able to respond quickly to the onset of depression and direct its efforts at our neighboring countries."
In whole, 5.8 million overnight stays were evidenced in Sweden in 2009, a raise of 3.3 percent on 2008. According to UN World Tourism Organization information for 2010, travel to and within Europe turn down by 5 percent as a whole.
The amount of Danes visiting Sweden rise by 20 percent on an annualized basis and this is, at least in part, an effect of the tourist team’s efforts, Peter Terpstra says.
"We have a lot of people close up to our margins who like to travel a lot. The Norwegians particularly respond to the favorable exchange rate."
The report specific’s that the depression has impacted the nature of tourism, with business traveler numbers down, and lesser cost option more popular.
Sweden's camp sites record a 6.1 percent boost in overnight stays while hotel numbers stayed at 2008 levels, with revenues falling by 5.2 percent.
