release | Finnish travel 2023, 2nd four months of the year

According to Statistics Finland, around 2.6 million leisure trips abroad with overnight stay were made in May to August 2023, which is over 10 % more than in summer 2022. Estonia, Sweden, Greece and Spain were the most popular destinations.

Key selections

  • The total number of leisure trips with overnight stay in Finland and abroad in summer (May to August) 2023 was 12.3 million.
  • One in four leisure trips abroad were made to Southern Europe. More trips were also made to Sweden and Estonia than in the summer before.
  • A total of 9.7 million domestic leisure trips with overnight stay were made. The number was falling clearly for the second year in a row.
  • The decrease in domestic trips is due to dwindling of trips to visit friends or relatives and free-time residences. By contrast, the number of domestic leisure trips with paid accommodation remained almost unchanged.
