Experiential Tourism for sustainable Rural development
Partners on the project: INFODEF, CSICY, dieBerater, Olympic Training, Einurd, ReadLab Brussels, LAND Impresa Sociale srl
We stumbled upon an interesting initiative from Iceland that we want to share with the #EXTOR community.
#ContentWithPurpose, an initiative by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council - GSTC has highlighted a best practise example in Iceland that combines entrepreneurial spirits, regenerative energies and sustainable innovation in one project.
Friðheimar in the South of Iceland is a unique Icelandic greenhouse farm where guests enjoy fresh tomato dishes right beside the plants. It’s a warm, green oasis that turns sustainable food production into an unforgettable experience.
Find more info on the initiative here: fridheimar.is/
In EXTOR we believe in collaboration and connecting with industry peers that tackle the same challenges as we do.
We would like to introduce an amazing podcast project, where @Hjörtur Smárasón ( an Icelandic communication strategist and destination-branding expert who previously served as the CEO of Visit Greenland) talks to thought leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, amateurs and professionals who are pushing boundaries, not only from the Nordics but wherever in the World they may be. ![]()
This project is a great example of storytelling and mutual learning effects.
