From 2013 to 2019, tourist arrivals at hotels in Finland showed a steady increase, reaching a peak in 2019 with 10.755 million arrivals. The significant drop in 2020 (to 5.916 million) was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recovery began in 2021 with a 23.97% year-on-year increase, and by 2023, arrivals had almost returned to pre-pandemic levels with 10.042 million. The 2024 forecast shows continued growth, with arrivals expected to reach 10.635 million by 2028. Notably, the CAGR from 2023 onwards is forecasted at 0.91%, indicating moderate growth.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of global economic conditions, changing travel preferences, and potential new disruptions similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, sustainable tourism practices and digital transformation in the travel industry could influence tourist behaviors and hotel arrivals in Finland.
