Working in tourism & HOSPITALITY in Norway
About the industry
The tourism & hospitality sector in Norway is constantly expanding. It is an international workplace with a high percentage of non-native staff.
The demand for workers varies seasonally and geographically. In general, the summer season starts in May and runs through August/ September; the winter season usually starts in November and ends in March/ April (Easter). The larger cities have a need for staff year-round but there many more applicants for these positions.
In the recent years the tourism industry has developed “adventure tourism”. The aim is to make Norway stand out as an interesting and exotic destination, offering something unique with its rugged and unspoiled nature. Such activities are also aimed at extending the high season. Examples are cultural festivals, agro-tourism, whale safaris, hiking, snow scooter safaris, ice hotels, sports events, hunting and fishing, paddling and rafting, dog sledging and Northern lights spotting (Aurora Borealis). Tourism in the northern arctic region is very popular and attracts tourists looking for something extraordinary. The Norwegian food heritage, and the “Nordic Kitchen” are also emphasized, and many hotels and restaurants are keen on using local produce.

Wages

Important things to consider
Some employers provide accommodation, but you may have to share living space, kitchen and bathroom with other tenants. Some employers also have rooms available for rent or camping facilities. The rent may vary considerably, depending on the standard of accommodation and where in Norway the work place is located. Those who do not offer housing will in many cases help in finding accommodation. Employers often offer training to their permanent staff, which can be a plus on employees’ resumes.
Some of the jobs are in small places, and public transportation may be very limited. You may need your own transportation to get around.
