Norway
Tourism accounts for 3.1% of GNP and 6.8% of total employment (Table 3.80). Compared to the previous year, tourism employment in 2006 showed a growth of 7% on the previous year. Total tourism consumption in Norway was NOK 87 billion in 2005, an increase from the previous year of 5%. Domestic tourists consume NOK 43 billion, foreign tourists NOK 27 billion and the business/convention market NOK 17 billion. In 2006, Norwegians took 17.3 million vacation trips, an increase of 4% on 2005. Domestic travel stayed at the same level as the year before, and thus it was holidays abroad that produced the growth (of 12%). In 2006, 69% of Norwegians’ holiday trips were domestic. In the period 2002-06, the number of holidays spent abroad rose by 27%, while domestic holidays fell by 7%.
