Sweden
Direct booking software for tour operators in Stockholm
Stockholm spreads across an archipelago, which shapes the whole product mix. Boat tours, island trips, old-town walks, food experiences and winter activities sell to a high-spend audience.
Who is booking tours in Stockholm
Nordic, German, US and UK visitors, with a large domestic city-break and conference audience.
How the Stockholm season runs
June to August dominates, with a distinct winter product line and a quiet, dark shoulder in between.
The marketplace problem in Stockholm
Short summer seasons mean the revenue window is narrow. Commission taken during those weeks cannot be recovered in October.
Why owned distribution wins here
Sweden is effectively cashless. Guests expect to book and pay on a phone in seconds, which is where marketplace-hosted checkouts consistently underperform.

- 3-tap mobile checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Tracked KLNKs on every tour so you know which creator, campaign or channel drove a booking.
- Direct integration with Bokun, CaptainBook and TicketingHub so your existing inventory syncs in minutes.
- A 3% fee on the Founding plan, against a quarter to a third on the big marketplaces.
Frequently asked
Why is the archipelago relevant to booking?
It makes departure times and weather more important than in a land-based city, so live availability has to be accurate to the minute.
How short is the season?
Effectively three months for water-based products, which raises the value of every seat sold at full margin.
Operators in Stockholm
Crister NæssHead of Visit Voss, Visit Voss, NorwayFor us, Tourpublish is much more than a platform. It is part of the digital infrastructure a modern DMO needs to build around the destination, connecting businesses, content, data and distribution in a way that creates more collaboration and less friction. The destination of the future needs to be easy to discover, understand and book, whether the customer journey starts with Google, social media, an AI assistant or one of our partners. Tourpublish helps us mobilize the entire destination, turn authentic local content into shared value, and create a stronger foundation for data-driven marketing and seamless booking across businesses. That is where we see the role of the DMO evolving: not controlling every customer touchpoint, but building the infrastructure that makes the whole destination more connected, visible and bookable.
