Another pain for the Swedish economy as the tourists sector poised to be hit by tourist warning after unrest in the suburbs of Stockholm

Friday, 24 May 2013
Sweden was classified recently the world as the 19th best tourist destination. The expectation was that Sweden would continue to push to becomes even better. But that dream seems to being dampen by the current unrest taking place in the capital and its environ.

One evidence is that the  British Foreign Office is warning the British people from travelling to the to areas affected by the rioting. They are also advised to avoid large crowds in the affected places, be careful and follow local news reports.
The British travel warning came in since Thursday and with further  recommendation also that there is a general risk of terrorism in Sweden.
Sinilar information also came from the the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm  who advises its nationals not to reside in Swedish areas where there have been riots.

An alert was sent by email to all Americans who are registered with the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm.
"Due to the potential escalation of the riots, the U.S. Embassy cautions U.S. citizens to avoid the areas of Husby, Tensta, Kista, Rinkeby, and Fittja during the next several evenings. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence," the US Embassy writes.

It remains to see how this will play in the tourism world. However, Sweden generally is a very safe country to travel in and the people are very welcoming. Irrespective of these social disturbances, the country remain one of the best places in the world to visit and we on this network urge people to come and see the wonders of this wonderful country and why it is always classed among the best places to live, do business and raise a family.
