Icelandic Greetings from Japan! 🌌🌏⛩️ Our Account Manager for Asia, Kaori Ohtomo, attended the 2024 Tourism EXPO Japan in late September. She sent us the following images to show the event and the elegant Tokyo Big Sight expo centre. Japanese travellers' interest in visiting overseas destinations has been increasing. This year, exhibitors representing overseas destinations accounted for more than 40% of the total, exceeding the number of domestic travel exhibitors. Part of that increase came from companies representing the Nordic countries, a popular region for Japanese visitors. In addition to current Japanese travellers, the expo planners are also looking to the future. Many Japanese students received free expo tickets to help inspire greater interest in overseas travel among young people. Kaori enjoyed meeting the many people who came by our booth. It is important for Iceland Travel to meet our current partners and make new connections interested in selling trips to Iceland. We do it all because we're local. #iceland #icelandtravel #myicelandtravel #JATA #TourismEXPOJapan #nature #travel #group #dmc #fit #mice #cruise #inspiration #tour #becausewerelocal #local #proud #local #hosts #1936

We are proud of our Iceland Travel Cruise Services team!

On October 7th, representatives from Iceland Travel and Iceland Travel Cruise Services attended Ferðaþjónustudagurinn 2024, an important industry event hosted in collaboration with the Icelandic Travel Industry Association | Samtök ferðaþjónustunnar, Ferðamálastofa / Icelandic Tourist Board, Umhverfisstofnun - Environment Agency of Iceland, Vatnajökull National Park, and Þingvellir National Park. The focus of the event was on the challenges of managing visitor numbers at key destinations, both domestically and abroad, and the critical need for dialogue between government authorities, shareholders, stakeholders, and locals in the tourism industry. This year’s event put special emphasis on how responsible visitor management aligns with the goals and actions outlined in Iceland’s newly approved tourism strategy. At Iceland Travel, we continuously learn and adapt to these evolving challenges. We work closely with shareholders, stakeholders, and locals in each region of Iceland to ensure that our operations reflect the best practices in sustainable tourism. Through this collaboration we strive to make a meaningful contribution to the preservation of Iceland’s natural beauty while offering unforgettable experiences for our guests. We do it because we’re local. #iceland #icelandtravel #sustainabletourism #greentravel #myicelandtravel #nature #travel #group #dmc #fit #mice #cruise #inspiration #tour #becausewerelocal #icelandictourism
