The Swedish Prescription

What if a trip to Sweden wasn’t just a holiday, but a science-backed treatment? We turned Sweden into the world’s first country available on prescription.

Problem

Sweden can't compete with the world's most iconic landmarks. To stand out in a crowded tourism market, we needed to give tourists a different reason to visit.

Solution

Our solution was The Swedish Prescription. Together with doctors across five international markets, we turned evidence-based Swedish wellbeing activities into a downloadable prescription they could prescribe to patients. It moved the conversation from tourism to health and gave people a new reason to choose Sweden.
