The hospitality and leisure industry is Sweden’s fastest-growing industry sector – industry revenues are expected to double in the next decade. During 2009, the value of foreign tourism in Sweden exceeded the value of Swedish tourism abroad for the first time ever.

Good growth potenial in hospitality and leisure property

There is great diversity among investors, including property companies, institutional investors and property funds. Sweden’s hospitality and leisure industry offers a range of investment opportunities to international real estate investors and property developers. Potential exists both in city-related hospitality and in tourism allied to Sweden’s ski, adventure/ wilderness, golf and seaside offering.

Large investments in accommodation and infrastructure are being made to meet the increase in demand, but there is room for international property developers and real estate investors. The opportunity for all-year round activities including golf, hunting and fishing forms part of the appeal.
