release

According to Statistics Finland, around 1.4 million domestic leisure trips with overnight stay were made in January 2024, which is 10 per cent more than one year ago. The number of leisure trips abroad also grew. Around 0.4 million leisure trips abroad were made in January 2024, which is 15 per cent more than one year before.

Key selections

  • The growth in domestic leisure trips was due to an increase in trips with free accommodation. The number of trips grew by one quarter and was around 1.1 million in January 2024.
  • The number of leisure trips abroad with overnight stay in the destination country was around 0.3 million, which is one fifth more than one year earlier. One in four of the trips were package tours.
  • Slightly over 5.0 million overnight stays during leisure trips were recorded both in Finland and abroad, which is clearly more than in January 2023.
  • Domestic business trips numbered 0.2 million, down by roughly a tenth from the previous year.
