Icelandic Tourist Board

Today, the Icelandic Tourist Board published seven reports on the residents’ attitudes of tourism in Iceland. The aim of the survey was to assess the attitudes of Icelanders to tourism and tourists at a specific time, both nationally and by individual regions. In addition, evidence was sought as to whether Icelanders feel pressure from tourism in their community.

Iceland will soon lift travel restrictions for residents of fifteen states outside the EU/Schengen Area in line with the decision of EU Member States. EU/Schengen citizens and residents are free to travel to Iceland under the condition that they preregister prior to arrival and undergo either a PCR test or a 14-day quarantine upon arrival.

The Icelandic government has issued rules and guidelines for passengers arriving in Iceland. Passengers can choose to be tested for COVID-19 or to go into quarantine for two weeks.

The preparation for lifting travel restrictions in Iceland is well on it´s way. Íslandsstofa (Promote Iceland) will take care of providing the necessary information to foreign tourists and foreign tourism providers. The Icelandic Tourist Board will provide Icelandic tourism companies with the necessary information regarding the arrangement and answer queries as much as possible. Please keep in mind that the arrangement will be re-evaluated periodically and may change rapidly if necessary.
