What a few days we had in Nuuk! 💙
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for Vestnorden 2026 and helped make this year’s event one to remember.
Over two busy days, buyers from around the world met with suppliers from Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands – catching up with familiar faces, making new connections and sharing ideas across the tourism industry. 🇬🇱🇮🇸🇫🇴
But Vestnorden wouldn’t happen without everything going on behind the scenes. From local artists and printing to restaurants, volunteers, partners and sponsors – so many people helped bring the event together.
A heartfelt thank you to our main sponsors: @air_greenland_official, @sermersooq, @nalikventures and @greenlandairports, and to @groenlandsbanken, @bluewatershipping, Greenland Excursions and Sulisitsisut - Grønlands Erhverv for their support. And thank you to @travelbyheartgreenland and @hotelhansegede for their contributions for giveaways to buyers.
A special shoutout to the students from @campuskujalleq, who travelled from South Greenland to volunteer. From welcoming guests at the airport to helping throughout the event and serving at the gala dinner, you made sure everyone had what they needed – and helped keep everything running smoothly. 🙌

Family travel to Iceland is easier than people think.
No remote trekking required. Many of Iceland`s most spectacular sights sit just a short walk from the car park, and the country`s accessibility and infrastructure make it easy to plan a trip around kids of any age. 👨👩👧👦🚗
New guide covers what makes it work: geothermal pools with waterslides in almost every town, whale and puffin watching trips scaled for young explorers, road trips like the Golden Circle and the South Coast, underground ice tunnels and lava caves, interactive museums like Perlan and the Lava Centre, and camping with playgrounds built right in.
Worth bookmarking for family travel planning. 🇮🇸
The Faroe Islands invites you to experience TWO of the World’s Greatest Places (in 2026, according to TIME).
The Faroese author William Heinesen once described the Faroese capital of Tórshavn as “The Navel of the World” and after RESS Spa and Restaurant Paz have opened, this notion resonates on an even deeper level.
RESS Spa blends quietly into the landscape above Tórshavn. It’s a calm, cocoon-like luxury spa where every detail is designed to create a sense of stillness — a place where you can step away from everyday life and float in warm infinity pools overlooking the charming houses of the capital.
Restaurant Paz, located in the heart of Tórshavn, is led by Head Chef Poul Andrias Ziska. He works in close collaboration with local fishermen, farmers, and artisans to ensure that
every bite reflects not only the islands but also a commitment to preserving their natural beauty for the future.
Having already received two Michelin stars, Restaurant Paz continues to cement the Faroe Islands position as a premier global culinary destination.

Greenland is a special place, and few people know the basics about this vast country. Here are some facts to get you started.
Did you know that Greenland is the world’s largest island, and that around 80% of it is covered by ice? 🧊With a population of just 57,000 people spread across a vast area, there is plenty of open space and untouched nature to explore. 🏔️
There are no roads connecting Greenland’s towns and settlements, so travelling from one place to another means flying or sailing. ✈️⛴️
In summer, the midnight sun means the sun never sets in parts of Greenland, while other places experience only a few hours of darkness. ✨ And in winter, thanks to Greenland’s northern location and clean, clear skies, the northern lights sparkle across the sky, creating a different light show each time.

Did you know one of the best ways to understand everyday life in Iceland is by stepping into a local swimming pool? ♨️💙
More than a place to swim, Icelandic pools are community hubs where people meet, unwind in geothermal warmth, and catch up on life`s big and small moments.
Since December 2025, this tradition has been recognised by UNESCO as part of its Intangible Cultural Heritage list. 🌍
