In October 2021, Qeqertalik Business Council and Destination Diskobay met with business partners, municipalities and tourist operators from the region around Disko Bay and the northern settlements, when the municipality of Avannaata invited to a seminar about the airport expansion in Ilulissat. Now, it is the municipality of Qeqertalik that invites to a new seminar. It takes place at 5th and 6th of April 2022 in Aasiaat.
At the seminar, we look away from Ilulissat and the airport expansion. Instead, the theme is possibilities and challenges in the outer areas – what can the outlying areas do to secure, that synergies from the new airport also benefits the areas outside of Ilulissat?
Business and tourist operators from both Avannaata and Qeqertalik are invited to the seminar as well as relevant political actors. There will be inspirational presentations from the operators, from foreign partners and from the municipalities. Furthermore, there will be group work between the participants, where important questions are to be answered.
The result of the seminar will be concrete agreements between the participants about further corporation to lift the region. Finally, the knowledge and solutions on the challenges will be lifted to a political level.
