Summer holidays in Denmark: – The market has exploded

The summer plans are being made for many these days, and the hope of a holiday trip to Denmark still lives on in many Norwegians. Danish BT reports, however, a challenging situation in the cottage market.

Due to the pandemic, 142 per cent more holiday home bookings have already been registered than last year in July and August, respectively, according to figures from Statistics Denmark.

The sharp increase is happening despite a decline in orders from German tourists, who have been told that only if they are fully vaccinated, they will be allowed in from 1 May.

In other words, it is the Danes themselves who contribute to solid growth, according to BT.

Quarantined or not

Denmark came at the end of April with the news that people from Trøndelag, Nordland and Troms and Finnmark could travel to Denmark without being quarantined.

Even though the Danes opened up for quarantine-free travel from parts of Norway, everyone who returned to Norway from Denmark had to be quarantined.

The rules and restrictions that will apply this summer have not yet been clarified. According to DFDS, however, the ferry route Oslo-Copenhagen (via Frederikshavn) opens on 7 June.

First step

At the end of April, Denmark took the first step towards a reopening after the pandemic.

Among other things, the Danes could again eat at restaurants – provided that the table had been ordered at least half an hour in advance, and on presentation of a corona passport or a fresh negative corona test.

Serving ends at 10 pm and guests must be out by 11 pm.

It also became possible to visit museums, galleries, libraries and larger shopping malls.
