Passenger and freight shipping company Arctic Umiaq Line and cruise operator Hurtigruten Norway have announced a new partnership designed to boost growth and opportunities in Greenland's tourism industry.
Placing an emphasis on sustainability, both companies will work together to promote tourism in the country.
“The Greenlandic coastal society is facing a historic shift as new airports makes us a part of the global infrastructure. This presents both an opportunity and some serious challenges”, said Arctic Umiaq Line CEO Jens-Jakob Sandgreen.
“With less than 60,000 people spread mainly along the 3,000 kilometers west coast, this is a delicate society that needs a subtle sustainable approach to tourism and business. This partnership will unlock new and remote destinations for locals and tourists, build on a strategy for sustainable tourism and renew welfare opportunities for Greenland while staying true to the core purpose of being a reliable alternative for local passenger transport”.
Further details regarding the collaboration's contents will be unveiled towards the end of August.
