Selasetur Íslands

There has been very good attendance at the Icelandic Seal Center so far this year, and over 19,000 visitors have already visited us. It is therefore safe to say that the Selasetrið and the new Rostunga exhibition have attracted the well-deserved attention of domestic and foreign tourists this year.

Individuals from 58 nations have visited us from all continents. Most of the visitors have come from the USA, Germany, Iceland, and France.

The Icelandic Seal Center made a survey to learn about the community’s opinion on tourism and how it should develop in the years to come. It was Sarah Walter, a summer student at Icelandic Seal Center, who did the survey this summer under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Aquino.

The survey findings show that residents of Húnaþing vestra have a positive perception of tourism overall. The majority of respondents are happy with tourism in general. They feel that tourism has improved the quality of life and perceive the municipality as a good tourist destination.
