TOURISM TRENDS:

• The COVID-19 pandemic caused a steep drop-off in tourism to many destinations in 2020 and 2021, but travel to Iceland from the U.S. has now fully reopened, and all Covid-related travel restrictions (including vaccinations, testing, pre-registration, and quaratines) have been lifted. The number of Americans traveling is expected to return to prepandemic levels by 2023.
• Experts predict around 1.3 million visitors to Iceland in 2022 and 1.5 million in 2023.

As of May 2022, revenue from non-Icelandic tourists to Iceland has increased by 337% in the last 12 months when compared with the same period the year before, from 56.8 billion ISK to 248.2 billion ISK.
