Faroese tourism has undergone a positive change in recent years. Having been largely unknown and undocumented in terms of a global tourist destination indeed, even hard to find on a map the Faroe Islands have developed into a unique and inspiring destination boasting world class experiences, accommodation and cuisine amid our distinctive and beautiful natural environment.
Today, international media report on culture and traditions, as well as our creative entrepreneurs, designers and musicians and of course, our way of life in the North Atlantic. International business people, brands and even film companies make their way here for meetings or simply to appreciate for themselves our amazing natural surroundings.
We have reached this point through close collaboration between the Faroese government, a robust and adventurous business community and the hard work and creative ideas of a wide range of talented and enthusiastic individuals from right across the country.
We have, quite literally, opened our homes to the rest of the world.
However, as we strive for development, it pays to never forget who and where we are, or, indeed, never to turn the Faroe Islands into somewhere quickly consumed and immediately forgotten.
As a nation, we cherish our proud traditions which have tied us together over generations and which have made us the citizens of the world we are today.
The Faroe Islands are home for us.
In this strategy document, we are setting out the direction of travel and our goals for Faroese tourism over the coming years. It’s the result of thousands of conversations, hundreds of meetings and masses of inspiration from our international colleagues.
Yet, at the same time, we’re shining new light on a number of people, who, in their own ways, are working closely with us to take our tourist industry forward. Creative individuals from across the Faroe Islands who have invited us to share in their personal stories. In this way, we can highlight the diversity of Faroese tourism whilst inspiring ourselves and others through the opportunities we can create together for the common good of our country.
