Finland
Domestic tourists account for nearly 73% of all overnights in Finland, although the share of international travellers is increasing. In 2006, the number of foreign visitors to Finland increased by over 6% to reach 5.3 million. The consumption of international visitors has increased by 12.5% between 2004 and 2006, and represents 26% of total tourism consumption (which was EUR 9.6 billion in 2005). Finland provides Tourism Satellite Account data on an annual basis and has also developed a Regional Tourism Satellite Account system. Tourism accounted for 2.4% of GDP in 2005 (Table 3.28). At the end of that year, there were 22 400 tourism characteristic enterprises, employing some 130 000 persons full- or part-time. In 2005, tourism employment represented 7.2% of total employment. Tourism receipts were EUR 1 891 million, according to preliminary information for 2006.
