American tourists increased by
about Is per cent compared with
the summer of 194S to 22,200
while the Britons showed a still
larger increase, or As per cent, to
$4,000. Moreover, $500 French and
$500 Swiss tourists inspected
Sweden, which is the largest num-
Der since the war.
Need More Facilities
AS a matter of fact, the tourist
problems are not so much a mat
ter of exchange rates. The most
urgent task for Sweden is to eX-
tend travelling and hotel facili-
ties, and much is being done in
this field. Two big modern hotels
will be completed in 1850, one in
Stockholm and one in Gothenburg
and a number of summer hotels
are being projected. A new big
passenger liner is being built for
the Swedish Lloyd's England route
while air facilities to the United
States as well as railway and bus
connections between Sweden and
the European continent are being
extended year after year So
hope, says DR.. Munthe, that Swe-
den will receive an increasing and
substantial share of the 100000
annual American tourists that are
expected to visit Europe in 1851
and 1852, according to the Amer
lean tourist program.
