Camping statistics, April 2002

Although the number of overnight stays by international guests decreased altogether, the number of stays from the United Kingdom increased by 131 per cent. The number of stays from Finland increased by 50 per cent.

Some of the decrease in April 2002 can be explained by the fact that the Easter holiday was in March this year, while it was in April last year.
