As Greenland opens more windows to the world, and welcomes more visitors to our country, we look towards a new future of tourism, and how we as Greenland’s tourism sector can move towards better tourism for and by all of Greenland.
We reflect on our oldest tale of sustainability, a tale of Sassuma Arnaa – Mother of the Sea, and we come together in our commitment to always develop tourism in balance with nature, people, and culture. Our Pledge Towards Better Tourism embraces the five themes;
