2 millions tourists
In first quarter of 2005, 2 millions Norwegians aged 16-79 went on a trip involving at least one overnight stay. This is an increase of 7 per cent compared with 1s t quarter last year. It means that 3 out of 5 of the Norwegian inhabitants in the relevant age group went on a trip during the this quarter.
This 7 per cent increase has probably connection with the fact that Eastern this year was in the 1s t quarter, while Eastern last year was in the 2n d quarter.
