Norwegians are looking at their own country after authorities recommend spending their summer vacation in the country this year. Lofoten sails as one of the favorites of many.
Authorities advise against traveling abroad, which is not strictly necessary due to the crisis in the crown. That is why Norwegians are asked to plan a Norwegian vacation this year.
In a recent survey conducted by Norstat on behalf of Finn Reis, three out of four Norwegians respond that they plan to take a summer vacation this year. 73 percent of them will travel on Norwegian vacations.

– The travel industry has been particularly affected by the crisis in the crown. But because many Norwegians will now be spending the summer in Norway, we see that interest in vacation travel around the country has increased dramatically, says commercial director Terje Berge in Finn reis.
Most people want to go to Lofoten
In another poll conducted by Norstat on behalf of ABC News, three out of ten Norwegians say they want to go to Lofoten this summer.
– It means a lot to us that many Norwegians will come to Lofoten, says Mayor Frank Johnsen (Sp) in the municipality of Vågan.

– We have a travel industry that has been on the decline since March 12. We have canceled many festivals. We have a lot of hotels and tourist facilities that are empty. We are very positive about welcoming tourists, says the mayor.

Sørlandet ranks fourth, and many plan to rent cabins along the coast this summer. The areas around Kragerø, Kristiansand, Hvaler, Risør and Arendal are especially popular.
– So popular that many of the cabins were fully booked as early as April, says Berge in Finn reis.
