“…We can assume that there are several SwedishNorwegian mesolevel CTRRs that cover a significant part of the territory of these states. A similar assumption was made in our study of the structure and geography of the distribution of the flow of inbound tourists in Norway [26]. In total, there are eight NSFIEIs on the SwedishNorwegian border [32].…”

Sweden’s tourism industry stands out for its large contribution to the development of the national economy. The vast size of the country makes it possible to trace differences in incoming tourist flows from neighbouring countries. This circumstance accounts for the novelty of this study, which lies in viewing national tourism geography from the perspective of the theory of transboundary tourism-and-recreation region building. Interregional differences in the structure of incoming tourist flows help identify the country’s cross-border tourism-and-recreation regions and delineate their borders. This research employs statistical and cartographic methods. The incoming tourist flow to Sweden grew steadily until 2020. However, the Covid-19 crisis has led to a drastic reduction in the number of incoming tourists. Based on the 2019 statistics, the findings confirm the existence of a developed transboundary tourism-and-recreation mesoregion that brings together Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. The formation boasts strong tourist links. There are another five cross-border tourism-and-recreation mesoregions: Sweden-Norway-Denmark, Middle Sweden-Norway, Sweden-Norway-Finland, Middle Sweden-Finland, and South Sweden-Finland. The number of tourists visiting cross-border mesoregions indicates the degree of development of the latter.

“…Earlier studies by Russian authors on the geography of tourism in the coun tries of the Baltic region (Estonia [24], Finland [25], and Norway [26]) assess the role of crossborder tourist and recreational regions ( [27][28][29][30][31], etc.) in generating and receiving tourist flows.…”

“…The aim and objectives of this prompt one to pay particular attention to the findings of studies into changes in the tourist flow and its geography at the level of regions. Most of these works concentrate on inbound tourist flows, for example, to the regions of Ireland [25], Great Britain [26], Norway [27], Estonia [28] Austria and Switzerland [11]. These investigations, however, use pre-pandemic statistics without considering the changes in tourism flows caused by COVID-19.…”

Changes in the structure and geography of tourist flows during the COVID-19 pandemic

Tourism suffered more than many other sectors amid Covid-19 travel restrictions. This article looks at the impact of the pandemic on the territorial redistribution of tourist flows in the Baltic region. The study draws on regional annual and monthly data on international and domestic tourist arrivals between 2019 and 2021, available on the websites of the statistical offices of the Baltic Region countries. The regions earlier dependent on tourist arrivals from Russia experienced the largest drop in inbound tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, domestic tourism burgeoned in most of the region’s countries. In 2021, the most dramatic increase in domestic arrivals occurred, year on year, in the border regions of Russia’s Northwest Federal District; the growth was also notable in Finland and the Baltic States. Domestic tourist flow compensated, partially or even fully, for the decrease in inbound tourist flow in most regions. The structure of inbound tourism changed markedly during the pandemic, with the share of tourists from the Baltic States growing. The strongest rise was in some regions of southern Finland and more modest in Latvia and Lithuania.
