The island nation of 350\,000 people has seen the number of tourists quadruple since 2010. Adventurous travelers were attracted to the waterfall \nIn this webinar\, Debra Troxell and Anita Ardi will introduce participants to Icelandic tourism through images and data and explain how Iceland has encouraged tourism as part of its economic development. She will engage participants through data and image analysis of the various levels of commercialization and access at various Icelandic tourist attractions. A discussion will be held on the advantages (such as economic development\, influx of foreign currency\, etc.) and the disadvantages (increase in English speakers\, damaging the landscape\, etc.)s\, glaciers\, and rugged conditions. As the number of travelers increased and the type of traveler changed\, Iceland has struggled to balance the much-loved ruggedness with accessibility and commercialization. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of promoting eco-tourism on the economy\, environment\, and culture of Iceland. \nRegister and Join
