HELSINKI has fallen well behind its regional rivals in terms of tourism growth in the post-pandemic era, reveals a study carried out by the Helsinki Tourism Foundation.
The Finnish capital registered fewer than two million overnight stays by foreign visitors in 2023, corresponding with 78 per cent of the total for 2019. In Copenhagen, Hamburg, Oslo and Stockholm, the number of foreign visitors has recovered noticeably faster, already exceeding pre-pandemic levels in Copenhagen and Oslo.
