Upplýsingar um fyrirlesturinn á ensku:
Shetland has many things to offer the tourist, but it has natural challenges because of its geographical position and the cost of travel. The tourism industry has undertaken research about how to overcome the challenges and was hopeful for the future, and then Covid-19 struck. This has had a big impact on the island’s tourism industry. This talk will explore the current situation.
