The annual Vestnorden Travelmart will take place this year in Nuuk on 21–22 September 2026, bringing together tourism operators from Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands with travel agents and business partners from around the world.
Destination Diskobay is once again represented at the trade fair, this time by Director Gerth P. Olsen and our new Destination Manager, Ane J. Siegstad. During the event, we have scheduled meetings with at least 32 different travel agents from around the world, whom we will introduce to the opportunities and experiences available in Disko Bay.
Our participation in Vestnorden Travelmart comes directly after a FAM Trip, during which Destination Diskobay welcomed 10 international travel agents to Disko Bay. During their stay, they had the opportunity to experience the region first-hand, meet local operators and gain a much deeper understanding of the experiences we can offer international visitors.
The feedback from the participants has been very positive, with the agents expressing great enthusiasm and appreciation for the many different experiences throughout the trip.
“It makes a big difference when travel agents do not just hear about our region around a meeting table, but have actually been here and experienced it themselves. We are now heading directly to Vestnorden Travelmart in Nuuk, where we can build on that interest while also presenting Disko Bay to another 32 international travel agents,” says Gerth P. Olsen.
In connection with the FAM Trip, Destination Diskobay would also like to extend a big thank you to all the local operators, hotels, restaurants and other partners who contributed to the visit. Your commitment, hospitality and support have been essential in enabling us to give our international guests a successful introduction to our region.
Vestnorden Travelmart is an important part of Destination Diskobay’s long-term efforts to establish new international relationships and bring more tourism products from our region to the international market.
At the same time, we are working strategically to ensure that the growing interest in Greenland also benefits Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, Qeqertarsuaq, Kangaatsiaq and the wider Disko Bay region.
The goal is not only to attract more visitors, but also to strengthen cooperation across the region and give international travel agents even more good reasons to encourage their guests to experience more of Disko Bay.
