The latest figures from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth indicate that in 2023, the occupancy rate stood at 40.6%, which is slightly lower than the 41.5% recorded in 2019, suggesting that the hotel industry has not yet fully bounced back to pre-pandemic levels in terms of bed usage and demand. In 2023, the occupancy rate peaked in July at 62.4% and dipped to its lowest in January at 31.5%. Interestingly, these months also marked the highest and lowest occupancy rates in 2019, suggesting a consistent pattern in tourist visits to the country.
