Increased turnover for tourism

The Nordic World Ski Championships contributed to strong figures for the tourism industry in the first quarter of 2011, as turnover grew by 9.8 per cent from the first quarter of 2010.

The World Ski Championships, hosted in Oslo two weeks in February and March, gave a boost to the tourism industry in the 1st quarter. Support for this claim is provided by our Accommodation statistics , which shows that hotels in Oslo benefited from a particularly strong growth in guest nights and price per room during these two months.

Continued progress for transport

The transport sector also reported an increase in turnover in the 1st quarter of 2011. Turnover in the section Transportation and storage grew in total by 6.4 per cent from the corresponding quarter last year. Both land and water transport experienced a growth in this period, whereas air transport reported a modest loss in turnover figures.

Strong figures for ICT

Turnover increased by 5.8 per cent in the information and communication industries from the 1st quarter of 2010 to the 1st quarter of 2011. Figures were especially strong for computer programming and computer consultancy activities.

Preliminary figures

Figures for the 1st quarter are based on data for the months of January and February. Data for March are predicted using historical growth. Consequently, these figures are preliminary and subject to change.
