Small corrections have been made in the 2017 – definitions of the “Unknown” and “Other countries” categories, as compared to earlier years. In previous data releases, guests with unknown residency are included in “Other countries”. As of 2017, the “Unknown” category is used for guests with unknown residency.

 

Due to reports late arrival, there are approx. 3.8 pct. of the guests and 4.8 pct. of the overnights estimated based on figures for the same period 2021. The existing estimation algorithm has been reworked based on learnings from the COVID-19 counts.
