Norway billionaire offers 5,000 nights to refugees

“We are offering 5,000 nights to refugees who need it,” Petter Stordalen, who owns the Nordic Choice Hotels chain, wrote on Twitter.

The migrant drama unfolding in Europe “concerns absolutely everyone,” he told Norwegian news agency NTB, adding that he would also cover the meal costs for the refugees who stay in his establishments.

The Norwegian migration board UDI said it would consider Stordalen’s offer if its centres were overflowing.
