Norway tourism growth

Overview

Norway recorded a record-breaking 4 million hotel overnight stays in July, marking the highest monthly figure ever registered according to Statistics Norway. This total included 2.4 million domestic tourists and 1.6 million international visitors, with the highest numbers seen in Oslo and Vestland.

Camping also saw growth, with 3.1 million overnight stays, a 6.9 percent increase from the previous year. Experts attributed this rise to favorable summer weather and a weak Norwegian krone, which increased the country’s attractiveness to travelers using stronger currencies like the euro. While national hotel stays reached record levels, regional growth varied; Northern Norway saw a 2 percent increase in total overnight stays from January to July 2026, slightly trailing the national growth rate of 3 percent.
