2024 was a record year for Norwegian tourism, with almost 38.6 million overnight stays. The country’s cuisine, culture, and unique destinations entice visitors. But tourism brings its own problems. At a campsite in Stavanger, Per Arne Haarr is often forced to turn away tourists during the high season. Because reservations can’t be made in advance, Robert, Yvonne, and their son Paul have arrived extra early. They hope to secure a spot at this campground in central Stavanger. The family from Germany is on its second visit to Norway and hoping to explore the south of the country. It quickly becomes apparent that since their last visit, things have gotten much more crowded here. Those who like hustle and bustle will get their money's worth along the Fargegaten pedestrian street, in the center of Stavanger. Then there’s the harbor promenade - and, of course, the cruise ships. Up to three of these can moor here at the same time, bringing thousands of tourists to the city every day.
