Lets All Go to Iceland

Visit Iceland and help them crawl out of their current economical disastrous state, the value of the Krona has plummeted recently and holiday goers are cashing in.

The average price of a beer has fallen from a chilling £7 to a more familiar £2.50 which we are used to at home. Iceland has 320,000 inhabitants living in its 130,000 squared kilometres with its capital Reykjavik hosting around 150,000 people.

Iceland has always been seen as an expensive destination due to its breath taking experiences and views such as the northern lights and geothermic pools. Iceland is one of the hardest hit countries by the global credit crunch which has resulted in their currency devaluing a lot.

Travellers around the globe who could not once afford such a luxurious destination are now in a position to do so. With their summer also lasting a little longer than ours you can see why more people are making the trip. Germany have taken advantage more than anyone around the globe as Iceland have seen an increase of 63% from their tourists with France by 43% and England increasing by only 20%.

Iceland has seen a 16% increase of tourists in total compared to last year. An expert has said that this is the silver lining to their cloud which has been caused due to the fall in its currency’s value, the more visitors the better. Iceland’s popularity for holidays next year is set to increase a lot as more people are trying to go abroad for cheaper due to the credit crunch.
