The B2B Networking event for
Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands

Vestnorden at 40: Celebrating West Nordic Tourism
Koma saman – a phrase meaning "coming together" in both Icelandic and Faroese – perfectly captures the spirit of the Vestnorden B2B Networking event. For 40 years, Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroes have come together annually to celebrate and promote tourism in the West Nordic region.
What started as a friendly gesture has grown into a dynamic frontier for tourism at the crossroads of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The story began with the Smyril Line Norröna ferry, which opened new opportunities for cooperation and tourism between these island nations.
From humble beginnings in a basement floor to a major event, Vestnorden has been a testament to the power of collaboration. The event has brought together key players in the industry, fostering connections and friendships that have shaped the tourism landscape.
As we celebrate 40 years, Vestnorden continues to be more relevant than ever, promoting the unique experiences and shared heritage of the West Nordic region. This year, guests will explore northern Iceland and witness the expanding international flights to Akureyri Airport.
Join us in Akureyri for a memorable celebration of Vestnorden's legacy and the vibrant future of West Nordic tourism. Skál to 40 years of coming together!
