The vast majority of people in Skåne are in favour of tourism
The majority of people in Skåne feel that tourism contributes to making Skåne to a better place to live, but many people welcome measures that regulate the number of visitors to particularly popular nature areas. This is shown by the citizen survey initiated by Tourism in Skåne and carried out in Region Skåne's "Skåne Panel".
The main benefits, according to the people of Skåne, are revenue for business, employment, rural development, increased supply of products and services, and opportunities for cultures to meet. Challenges include heavy visitor pressure in some places, congestion and littering.

Reflection of the week
Interesting to see the survey on Skåne's attitude to tourism! "Tourism is often good in many ways, but there are also risks of negative consequences. During the year, we have heard about some places, including in Skåne, where it is being for many tourists at the same time. Good if you can find ways to distribute the tourists - there are so many different beautiful places!

Gerd Lindblom Collin says:
Yes, I understand that tourism is increasing and Sweden is probably attractive. SJ has emailed me a lot about increased train traffic and new concepts such as class 2 Lugn. Of course it costs more too.
Croatia is close to my heart, but I have no plans to go abroad yet.
All good!

Yes, Sweden has probably become much more attractive to Swedes, it is noticeable. Is the fact that SJ emails you because you signed up for their newsletter? We feel comfortable travelling abroad now, but if you prefer Sweden, there are many nice things here too! Wishing you a nice Monday!
