Accommodation, August 2003

The two largest foreign markets, Germany and the Netherlands, increased, while all the Nordic countries went down.

Decrease for hotels only

Except for hotels, all the types of accommodation increased. One reason for the increase for holiday dwellings is that some of the establishments were earlier incorrectly categorised as hotels.

Fewer guest nights so far this year

After the first eight months in 2003, there has been a decrease in the number of guest nights by 3 per cent compared with the same period last year.
