Sweden's Travel & Tourism market is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors shaping consumer preferences, industry trends, and unique local circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Travelers in Sweden are increasingly seeking unique and authentic experiences, moving away from traditional tourist attractions towards more off-the-beaten-path destinations. There is a growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly travel options, with tourists showing a preference for environmentally conscious practices and accommodations.

Trends in the market:
One notable trend in the Swedish Travel & Tourism market is the rise of digital platforms and technology shaping the way travelers plan and experience their trips. Online booking platforms, travel apps, and social media influencers play a significant role in influencing travel decisions and shaping consumer behavior. Additionally, there is a growing interest in adventure tourism and outdoor activities, with Sweden's natural landscapes and outdoor offerings attracting a new segment of travelers.

Local special circumstances:
Sweden's unique geographical features, including its vast forests, picturesque lakes, and the opportunity to experience the midnight sun in the summer months, make it a desirable destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The country's strong focus on sustainability and innovation also sets it apart, with initiatives promoting responsible tourism practices and eco-friendly accommodations.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The overall economic stability and high standard of living in Sweden contribute to the growth of the Travel & Tourism market. Increasing disposable incomes and a culture that values work-life balance encourage Swedes to travel both domestically and internationally. Additionally, government support for the tourism industry through infrastructure development and promotion of cultural heritage sites further boosts the sector's growth.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, package holidays, and camping.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
