Stockholm's tourism industry November 2009
Continued increase in overnight stays at hotels, hostels and vacation villages In November 2009 nearly 710,000 overnight stays were made in the county’s hotels, hostels and vacation villages. That is 2 percent more than during the same month in 2008. At the same time, overnight stays declined somewhat in the country as a whole. This rise is localized to facilities in the city, while elsewhere in the county, the number of guest nights was unchanged. These good results are attributable to a rise in numbers of foreign visitors. In the period from January to November 2009, 8.2 million overnight stays were made in Stockholm County. That is 17,000 more than during the same period in 2008. Camping is not included in these accommodation figures.
