There are 4 main types of tourism. These include, Leisure, Business, Education and Special Interest.
Iceland’s tourist industry features many aspects from Leisure Tourism, where people travel to experience a change in climate and learn something new. The aim is to seek a break from the stress of every day life, which normally refers to a beach or island resort.
Iceland’s tourism is unique because the climate would not normally be desirable for relaxation, but the way it is presented to tourists with hot springs and hikes, makes it seem like a relaxing location to refresh yourself.
The two extremes of how Iceland is presented also contributes to the varied tourism. In the winter, it is a location considered as a winter wonderland, with snow filled landscape, to relax in from log cabins and hot springs. In the summer, the green paradise with unique flowers and huts, attracts hikers. Depending on which season Iceland promotes, or what people see, will change the reasons of visiting Iceland.
