About Startup Tourism
Startup Tourism is a mentorship-driven business accelerator for Icelandic companies in the tourism sector. 10 companies are selected to take part in a 10 week program in Reykjavík where they receive guidance, assistance, a workspace and benefits. Recent years have seen a steep increase in the number of foreign visitors travelling to Iceland. This has created challenges and opportunities for Icelanders. Improved infrastructure, private sector development and innovation is necessary to address these changes and create a sustainable future for tourism in Iceland. With that in mind, Íslandsbanki, Blue Lagoon, Vodafone, Isavia, Iceland Tourism and Icelandic Startups joined hands to create a program for startups in Iceland. Startup Tourism is completely free and participants keep 100% of their company.
