Norwegian tourism gets boost as weaker Kroner draws visitors

The depreciation of the Norwegian kroner has made the famously expensive Nordic country a more affordable destination for tourists, increasing spending and benefiting local businesses.

On the other hand, for Nowegians travelling and holidaying abroad, the weaker krone means increased prices. The falling exchange rate has also caused issues for local Norwegian retailers who buy international brands, as they have become much more expensive to purchase.
