"In a move that places Sweden at the forefront of tourism tech, Visit Sweden
has launched a national API—an open-data platform designed to make the
country’s entire tourism offering accessible in a structured, digital format.
With this initiative, Sweden becomes one of the first nations in the world to
centralize its tourism data at a national level, aligning with global standards
and creating new opportunities for innovation, international visibility, and
sector growth.
The API (Application Programming Interface) consolidates content from all of
Sweden’s 21 regions and structures it using the global data standard
schema.org. The result is a flexible, open system where around 14,000
tourism-related data entries—including destinations, accommodations, events,
and experiences—can be freely accessed, reused, and integrated into digital
services worldwide. And more are being added. Interested parties can join the
initiative and find all the necessary information on Visit Sweden’s corporate
website.
“By bringing Sweden’s tourism industry together under a shared digital
standard, we’re strengthening the country’s international appeal and making it
easier for travelers around the world to explore our unique destinations,” says
Sara Modig, State Secretary to Sweden’s Minister for Energy and Business, Ebba
Busch."
