The Faroe Islands are among the new trends mentioned in Walter Thompson Worldwide – really the only European one and beside Cuba and Chicago.
The newest The Future 100 are focusing on the most remarkable 100 new trends, that the world will see in 2016.
Guðrið Højgaard, CEO of Visit Faroe Islands:
“WE are happy for everyone, who starts seeing our country as a new destination. Even though the Earth has been conquered and documented, we know that The Faroe Islands still have unknown places, that need to be explored and stories to be told.”
From The Future:
The Faroe Islands
The island chain that T Magazine calls “the next great Scandinavian destination” and a “sort of spectacular Nordic version of Hawaii” has taken a long time to achieve such praise.
But by virtue of its isolation and the rising cultural cachet of all things Scandinavian, it’s now recognized as one of the more unspoiled destinations accessible to European and American travelers. In the capital, Tórshavn, diners can feast on some of the world’s freshest catches at the sushi bar Etika or dine on filets of sea-diving birds at locavore restaurant Koks, while enjoying the unparalleled natural beauty of the Arctic region, one of the fastest-changing on earth.
Why it’s interesting: Travelers are seeking ever more off-beat destinations, but preferably with luxury amenities, and places such as the Faroe Islands balance these desires perfectly.
