An increase of 2% in nights spent by foreign visitors
Nights spent in Helsinki were down by 5.3% in February. This decline was entirely due to an 11.6% decline in nights spent by domestic visitors. Conversely, nights spent by foreigners rose by 1.8%. The vast majority of foreign overnight visitors once again came from Russia, even though the number of nights spent by Russians declined by 6.1% compared to the previous year. Next up were the British, who recorded a major rise of 21% in nights spent. The Germans also recorded an increase of 15%. Other markets that experienced strong growth were Japan and China. Nights spent by visitors from Norway, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland rose as well. Conversely, in addition to Russia, the number of nights spent by visitors from Sweden, the United States, Italy and France declined.
The occupancy rate of Helsinki's accommodation establishments was 59.8% in February, roughly the same as in February last year. However, the average price of accommodation, EUR 72.35, rose from last year. The average length of stay for both domestic and foreign visitors remained at the same level as in February last year.
The number of passengers at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport declined by 3.9% in January-March compared to January-March 2012. International traffic remained the same, however, meaning that the decline was entirely due to a decrease in domestic traffic. Passenger traffic at Helsinki's harbours rose by 1.0% due to significant growth in Estonian traffic.
