Conservation of the environment is a high priority for Iceland, a country that depends on natural resources and their sustainable management. Given the economy's high dependence on fisheries and exports of seafood, the sustainable harvesting of living marine resources is an economic as well as an environmental priority. A quota system in fisheries, limiting the total allowable catch at a level deemed sustainable by marine scientists, is showing signs of paying off. The stakeholders in this article are the fisheries because they control the entire market so they are most effected by the quota system. I believe that this is the right thing to do because the government needs to preserve the natural resources that benefit the Icelandic economy.

Travel Barriers

Travelling to Iceland is a worldly experience, but there are some things that may prevent you from having the experience you are looking for. Expensive accommodations and transportation can affect how long you stay in Iceland and how many activities. Also there is a language barrier in some of the more rural areas.

Type of Destination

Iceland is a frontier type of destination. The many mountains and glaciers make it this way because it is very isolated and has harsh conditions.

Review by Thomas from Singapore:

Great hotel in the heart of old Reykjavik

Posted Nov 30, 2015

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff.

Cons: The only downside is that there are no free parking spaces, so we had to stay somewhere else once we rented a car.We stayed here for 2 nights in November.

We had a family room which had 2 bedrooms and which slept the 4 of us comfortably. The room was great. Breakfast was not buffet style ( they served individual breakfast sets) but was adequate and of good quality.

Places to eat in Reykjavik:

One of the top restuarants to eat at in Iceland is the Fridrik V

An overall five star rating and superb reviews makes it a top contender. Another place is the Ostabudin. with similar cusine to the Fridrik puts it at our number two spot to eat an exquisit meal. Lastly is the Resto which is Iceland's world famous seafood restuarant. You can expect to pay $100 at the minimun per person.
