The aim of the study is to examine the urban tourism from a Swedish perspective. The study focused on the tourist system and tried to find out how it operates in the present and how it will change in the future. Furthermore, the study wanted to get an understanding for tourists' expectations and how it will develop. If there will be a change within the tourist system, will tourist companies be prepared for new trends? How does the tourist industry, in Sweden, use the concept 'urban tourism'? How will tourists and the tourist industries manage the transition for the future?
