3 A city of events Success breeds success, they say. With over 10.7 million commercial overnight stays and ranked among the top European destinations for the third year in a row, Stockholm has secured a position among the fastest growing destinations in Europe. Even the international media has acknowledged the growth and creativity found in Stockholm. One example is when the prestigious publication, Conde Nast Traveler, recently wrote a long article about the city, appointing Stockholm as Europe s surging culinary star. One of the strategic corner stones of Stockholm s vision for 2030 is to develop Stockholm as a world class city of events and experiences. In order to achieve this, both new arenas and exciting events, are needed. Located in the northern part of Stockholm and with a capacity to accommodate up to 65,000 people, the new Friends Arena was opened in The entertainment center at Stockholm Globe Arenas, in the southern part of the city, is also growing. During the summer 2013, with a capacity to seat 35,000 people, the new Tele2 Arena will open. Within the framework for the Stockholm strategy, we are also focusing on developing the Stockholm archipelago as a destination that is attractive all year around. The strategy work for the archipelago is now proceeding to an operational phase, in which eleven destinations will be prioritized. Three areas are given extra focus; archipelago and big city in cooperation, more and longer seasons and a sustainable tourism industry.

28 Economy Tourism is of great importance for the economy of Stockholm. In 2012, visitors spent over SEK 26.3 billion during their stay. During the past ten years, turnover from tourism has increased by close to 60 per cent. The increase relates primarily to accommodation and restaurant visits. In comparison with 2011 turnover increased by 15 per cent, which was a substantial rise. In a ten-year perspective, it is primarily turnover from visitors staying in commercial accommodation that has increased. But 2012 resulted in a revenue increase also from visitors in non-commercial accommodations and day visitors. TABLE 12.

33 PHOTO: COVER OLA ERICSSON BACK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT NICHO SÖDLING, OLA ERICSSON, NICHO SÖDLING Stockholm The Capital of Scandinavia There are many reasons why Stockholm is the natural Capital of Scandinavia. One is that Stockholm is positioned at the heart of the region, and enjoys the benefits of a world-class transport infrastructure. Another is that Stockholm is the largest city in the largest country in Scandinavia. It is also where you find the most multinational companies, the largest stock market and, not least, the most visitors. People come to Stockholm for the food, the design and the music. Stockholm also offers a unique range of galleries and museums, and every year the eyes of the world are on Stockholm when the Nobel Prizes are awarded.
