Travel Span News Network – Mumbai- There is a 23 per cent increase in the number of tourists from India to Sweden. An improved people to people exchange, increased trade between the two nations, a concerted Government interest from both sides and direct flights have contributed to this growth. These results were shared by Visit Sweden and the Consul General of Sweden in Mumbai at a seminar conducted Scandavian Tourism board in Mumbai recently.
More than a 190 Swedish companies are registered in India including Ericsson, Volvo, H&M, Scania, DeLaval, Tetra Pak and the latest entrant being the much-awaited, global home furnishings giant IKEA. In addition, several small and medium enterprises and Swedish startups have India plans. This growing bridge between India and Sweden has impacted tourism positively.
“The excellent relations between Sweden and India which have developed over the past few years with PM Löven and PM Modi’s respective visits, the joint declaration, joint action plan and the adoption of strategic partnership on innovation, are paving the way for increased bilateral visits and people to people contacts,” says Ulrika Sundberg, Consul General of Sweden to Mumbai.
