Hurtigruten Norway and Arctic Umiaq are proud to announce their new partnership to enhance growth and opportunities in Greenland's tourism industry.
With a high focus on sustainability, both companies are partnering to develop Arctic Umiaq Line's unique product for the international market and promote sustainable tourism in Greenland.
"The Greenlandic coastal society is facing a historic shift as new airports make us a part of the global infrastructure. This presents both an opportunity and some serious challenges", says Arctic Umiaq Line CEO Jens-Jakob Sandgreen.
"With less than 60,000 people spread mainly along the 3000 kilometre 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," he adds.
