Scandinavia Source Tourism Market Segments
The key segments in the Scandinavia source tourism market are domestic tourism and outbound tourism. Domestic tourism was the leading segment in the Scandinavia source tourism market in 2022.
Domestic Tourism: Due to strict international travel restrictions, domestic trips reached pre-pandemic levels by 2021. During 2022, domestic trips stood at 108.55 million trips. In a bid to boost tourism, the Danish government has established the Danish national tourism forum, which collaborates with operators in the tourism sector to accelerate the recovery from the COVID-19 impact. This has increased the demand for Denmark’s domestic tourism market.
Outbound Tourism: Outbound tourism from Scandinavia was hugely impacted due to restrictions on traveling and avoiding visiting group gathering places which led to a decrease in outbound tourism expenditure. As the global market is now recovering from the covid impact and restrictions are being lifted, as per GlobalData, outbound expenditure is expected to reach the pre-pandemic level by 2023. Transportation was the second highest tourism expenditure sector. Accommodation was the preferable expenditure for Scandinavia tourists mainly by Norwegians.
