Towards a more regenerative & sustainable tourism development

Our goal is for tourism to become regenerative, meaning that tourism somehow adds value to the lives of locals. We always base our work on the three pillars of sustainability – environmental, economic & social.

Read more about some of our international development projects in the boxes below.

Co-creation and local experiences

Visit Tórshavn collaborates with local businesses and organizations to co-create and develop experiences, ranging from guided tours of historical landmarks to culinary adventures showcasing Faroese cuisine.

Closed For Maintenance

One way of working sustainably & regeneratively with tourism, is the annual Closed For Maintenance initiative, in which we have participated as a local partner every year since it started. In this initiative, we collaborate closely with local landowners, to help both repair and rebuild village paths and other areas in need of our assistance. We do the work by the help of both international and local voluntourists.

If you want to join the Closed For Maintenance initiative, you can apply via Visit Faroe Islands – please note that we always have far more applications than available spots, therefore you are not guaranteed a spot – but we encourage you to apply until you succeed. We cannot wait to have you on our team!

Nordic Regenerative Tourism

In NorReg we work both with sharing knowledge about what regenerative tourism means, with establishing a local regenerative network in Tórshavn, and on a Citizen Science project about local food. Another exciting project is underway, as part of the extended NorReg project – more information will follow.
