Planning a trip to Sweden this summer? The Nordic country is famed for majestic vistas where snow-studded mountains plunge into magnificent fjords. Tourism is important to Sweden, bringing in revenues that account for 2.9 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is three times greater than that of the important national mining industry.


But tourists visiting Sweden today may be shocked by certain conditions there which are upsetting the natives. Notably, the nation’s open and welcoming immigration policy has resulted in a rise in violent crimes committed by some of these newcomers, many who came from war-torn African countries:

“In 2015, a record-breaking 162,877 asylum seekers entered Sweden, which along with Germany was the preferred destination for a wave of Syrians, Afghans, and others who reached European soil in search of protection and better lives.”

In 2018, the U.S. Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) reported that “The U.S. Department of State has assessed Stockholm as being a MEDIUM-threat location for terrorist activity directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests.”

The 2018 OSAC report indicated that militant Muslims are responsible, according to the National Center for Terrorist Threat Assessment (NCT), a permanent working group within the Swedish Counter-Terrorism Cooperation Council:

“The greatest terrorist threat to Sweden, according to the NCT, is Islamist extremism. Sweden is regarded as a legitimate but not prioritized target for terrorist attacks by violence-promoting Islamists. There are operatives who have the intent and capability to carry out terrorist attacks.”

The 2019 OSAC report assigned “moderate risk from terrorism in Stockholm,” Sweden’s capital city. Violent Islamist attacks do not seem organized to target the government:

“Sweden’s political engagement abroad has not fostered homegrown d******c t*******t groups with a clear mandate/agenda to target Swedish infrastructure or government. However, the U.S. Embassy recognizes the possibility that unaffiliated/autonomous groups may conduct terrorist attacks.”

The U.S. Sweden Travel Advisory is at Level 1: Exercise normal precautions. Following are some recent examples of what has been going on in Sweden:
