The tourism sector of Gävle invests and takes advantage of our surrounding nature, the four seasons that our climate has to offer, and the short travel time from Stockholm and Arlanda International Airport. Larger enterprises such as Furuvik, the Swedish Railway Museum, Dome Adrenaline Zone, Kungsberget and Högbo Bruk have all made major investments in recent time. Gavlehov Stadium Park is the municipality’s large sports investment, with 8 different sports arenas all in one place, only 10 minutes away from central Gävle.

Gavlehov Stadium Park, the cultural area Gasklockorna and Gävle Concert Hall enhance Gävle’s ability to host larger events.

Collaboration with the local tourism industry through Gästriklands Besöksnäringsförening

In January 2023, a cooperation agreement was concluded between Gästriklands Besöksnäringsförening and the Gästrikland municipalities. The purpose of the collaboration agreement is to enable sustainable growth for the hospitality industry in Gästrikland. A strengthened collaboration simplifies the dialogue between businesses within the hospitality industry and the municipalities and enables us to operate within and strengthen the areas that are in demand by the local tourism sector.
