Kristiansund fails to capitalize on motorhome tourism

While Ålesund, recognized as Norway's 'motorhome city,' has established three city-center motorhome parking areas (two year-round with 50 and 57 spaces), Kristiansund has not developed similar infrastructure. According to the article, each motorhome leaves an average of over 1,000 NOK per day, generating about 100,000 NOK daily for local businesses in summer. The author notes that existing options (Atlanten camping, Hagelin parking) are inconvenient for tourists wanting to visit the center and calls for a dedicated lot with basic amenities (electricity, waste disposal, water).
