Norway may add a cruise tourist tax to help manage tourism.

The Norwegian government is considering introducing a tourist tax for cruise passengers to manage the increase in tourism and its impact on local communities and infrastructure. The number of cruise arrivals in Norway has tripled from 2010 to 2023. The proposal includes the possibility for each municipality to set the tax rate, with a maximum limit of 5% of the overnight stay price. The collected funds would be used for the construction and maintenance of tourist infrastructure. The proposal has faced criticism from the hotel sector.
