Visiting Norway? A new fee may change how much your trip costs
The tax could be implemented as soon as next summer
Bergen Norway

Norway, famous for its dramatic fjords and Arctic beauty, is the latest country to introduce a tourism-related fee in response to growing concerns over overtourism. In 2024, Norwegian accommodations recorded more than 38 million guest nights, placing increasing pressure on infrastructure in many of the country's most scenic areas. Now, following the lead of cities like Venice and Barcelona, lawmakers have approved a measure that allows municipalities to implement a 3% “visitor’s contribution” tax on overnight stays and cruise ship passengers.

Unlike nationwide tourist taxes in other countries, Norway’s version will be locally applied. Municipalities must apply for approval by demonstrating that tourism has significantly strained public services. Once approved, the 3% tax can be levied on hotels, guesthouses, Airbnbs, and cruise passengers. However, camping vans, tents, and recreational boats will be exempt.

If there’s one thing affluent travelers are steering clear of in 2025, it’s sameness.

According to the newly released 2025 Luxury Travel Report from Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the biggest turnoff for today’s high-end jet-setters isn’t long flights or price hikes, it’s what the report calls “Beige-ification.” The term captures a growing dissatisfaction with the copy-and-paste culture of luxury travel, where experiences, design, and service have become nearly indistinguishable from one destination to the next.
