There are few published articles on the demand for campsites, despite this being an important segment of the tourism industry. The purpose of this study was to gain further understanding of this topic. Using publicly available data over a period of 20 years, income and currency elasticity were estimated for German and Swedish camping tourists by using a natural logarithmic regression model with time series data. The results showed that both income and the exchange rate influenced the number of overnight stays, but the impact was rather small. The income elasticity for Swedish visitors was significant with a value of about 0.5, while it was zero and not significant for German camping tourists. Appreciation of the euro was associated with more visitors from Germany, but the estimated exchange rate elasticity was below 1.0 (and significant). A stronger Swedish currency relative to the Norwegian currency did not appear to have an effect. However, a stronger Swedish exchange rate, measured in euros, had a positive impact on Swedish camping visitors in Norway. The reason might be that more Swedish residents spend holidays abroad, and there is complementarity among the neighboring countries. Such calculations provide useful information for tourist industry planning.

收入和货币变化对挪威露营地游客流入的影响：以瑞典和德国游客为例

尽管露营地是旅游业的重要组成部分，但关于露营地需求的文章很少。本研究的目的是进一步了解这一主题。使用 20 年的公开数据，通过使用时间序列数据的自然对数回归模型估计德国和瑞典露营游客的收入和货币弹性。结果表明，收入和汇率对过夜人数都有影响，但影响较小。瑞典游客的收入弹性显着，约为 0.5，而德国露营游客的收入弹性为零且不显着。欧元升值与更多来自德国的游客有关，但估计汇率弹性低于 1.0（且显着）。瑞典货币相对于挪威货币走强似乎没有产生影响。然而，以欧元计算的瑞典汇率走强对瑞典在挪威的露营游客产生了积极影响。原因可能是更多的瑞典居民在国外度假，邻国之间存在互补性。这样的计算为旅游业规划提供了有用的信息。
