Crumbs! 19 Sep 16
Monday | Sep 19 2016Authorities in Western Norway have decided to rejig their tourism marketing budget in response to a problem others can only dream of – too many tourists. The region is famed for its spectacular fjords and officials have cited the so-called “Frozen” effect for its newfound popularity, as fans of the wildly successful Disney film Frozen flock to see the area which is said to resemble the movie’s fictional setting of Arendelle. Kristian Jorgensen from Fjord Norway said surging visitation has seen hotels fully booked as well as long queues at key attractions such as the spectacular Preikestolen lookout, which now attracts 300,000 annual guests – up fivefold since 2009. “It’s the most successful animated film ever made, basically about the fjords…the numbers have just exploded,” she said. As a result Fjord Norway will no longer market the destination to summer visitors, instead focusing its spend on the off season as well as aiming to raise the profile of lesser-known destinations in the region.
