Be Sustainable – Buy Local

Read this article where we tell you how to find a full list of Greenlandic tour providers so you can work directly with the locals

Published on July 16, 2019

Every time your guests buy souvenirs – or even a dinner at a local cafe – while on holiday in Greenland, they are supporting the local economy.

As a travel planner outside of Greenland, you can also facilitate those good effects by working directly with local operators to incorporate their tours into the programs you design.

Local operators

Throughout all five regions of Greenland there are upwards of 65 local operators offering everything from daytime multi-day kayaking trips to daytime sailing excursions to remote cabin stays to horseback riding.

While it might take a bit more communication on your end to coordinate with a handful of local tour providers instead of using one consolidator, which might not even be located in Greenland, you can have the good conscience that you are contributing to the Greenlandic tourism industry in a highly sustainable way.

Visit Greenland
Traveltrade.visitgreenland.com is managed by Visit Greenland and provides a variety of resources for national and international operators working with tourism in Greenland.
