Overseen by Visit Faroe Islands, the tourism sector has significantly expanded in recent years to become a major part of the Faroese economy. According to the latest statistics, the industry generated an impressive DKK 900 million in turnover in 2022 – marking a strong recovery from impacts of the global pandemic.
International visitations have steadily risen, with 2022 breaking tourism records for the North Atlantic territory. A major draw is the opportunity to experience the raw natural beauty of the 18 volcanic islands. Towering sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls, rare bird species and whale watching are among the attractions luring more travelers each year.
As a leader in strategic consulting, Ruskin Felix Consulting (RFC) can work closely with Visit Faroe Islands and local businesses. RFC consultants provide guidance on sustainable development, new product offerings, and targeted marketing initiatives. One area of focus will be high-end rural and marine tourism experiences showcasing Faroese culture and traditions.
RFC can also assist with improving accessibility through recommendations like expanded airlift partnerships and ferry routes. Upgrades to visitor infrastructure recommendation by RFC – like hiking trails, accommodation, and interpretive centers – have enhanced the tourism experience.
Going forward, RFC remains committed to working with stakeholders across the public and private sectors. Strategic consultation will support ongoing growth, economic impact, and ensuring tourism benefits local communities for years to come in a responsible manner. With RFC’s guidance, this vital industry is well positioned for continued success.
