Map Facts

The map shows the number and national distribution of international tourists, excluding domestic tourists, in 2014. The capital regions and their neighbouring regions have the most even mix between the different categories of international tourists. Other regions attracting a varied mix of international tourists, including Asian and ‘all other’ countries, are located either in Iceland, along the Norwegian coastline, or in the Finnish Lapland. With the exception of the capital region, all regions in Denmark have a dominant share of German tourists, particularly Syddanmark and Midtjylland. A number of regions in Finland had a dominant share of Russian tourists in 2014, particularly Etelä-Karjala and Etelä-Savo. In the southern part of Sweden, German tourists also comprise a large share of the international tourists, whereas most regions in the rest of the country have a high share of tourists from the other Nordic countries. In Norway a large share of the international tourists are from other European countries.
