Too many tourists in Norway – level 1

Too many tourists in Norway

20-04-2026 07:00

Norway is a beautiful country with high mountains and blue water. In 2024, a record number of people visit the country. But now, some places are too full.

At the most famous places, people must wait in long lines for a photo. Some tourists wear bad shoes. They get hurt on the paths. In small towns, very big ships bring too many people at one time. People who live there are sad. The place is noisy and crowded.

Experts want to help. They want fewer visitors. Many people love Norway, but they want to keep the nature quiet and safe for everyone.

Difficult words: record (the highest level), path (a track for walking), crowded (full of too many people).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why do experts propose reducing the number of tourists in Norway?
