Sounds great. Sounds tacky. Would work
Does Iceland have many cruises that just slowly circle the island?
That's one way to keep tourists mostly out of the way but still spending money.
Well, not that but a ton of cruise ships — including to my village. Ironically, gov smacked enough regulations and increased fees on them to turn most away for this summer.
Inhabitants don't like having their villages swamped by thousands of cruisers.
update: or I dunno, it's hard to see the direct benefits. Most people don't get paid, and cruisers have food and accom on the ship so they don't really spend anything in town. The spoils were too concentrated (only a few tour companies or direct services) or too disbursed (dock fees and general taxes). No local buy-in
Maybe you can just sell people an AI Iceland experience, without them ever leaving the airport.
