Trips abroad one fifth fewer in summer 2022 than before the pandemic

The number of leisure trips abroad recorded in the statistics in May to August 2022 was four times higher compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. In summer 2022, the destinations of trips abroad were also further away in Europe than in the summer before, when three out of four trips abroad were made to the Nordic countries and Baltic countries. The number of domestic leisure trips with overnight stay decreased by almost 15 per cent from summer 2021. These figures are preliminary data from Statistics Finland's statistics on Finnish travel.
