In the North Atlantic, roughly between Greenland and the United Kingdom, provides the small island nation of Iceland. And no, it gets its name from being ice. Iceland has been named something different for each of aliens who landed on its shores, but in Scandinavian languages, Icelandic type "Island."
Although Iceland is blessed with all the hot water and geothermal energy from one country might never use, resources have never been his strong point. However, for various reasons, tourism has become a major economic cash cow of Iceland, with fish and sheep. There are mountains to climb, snow skiing, horseback riding, food to the throat of the glaciers of sled dogs, you get the picture. And, of course, tourists have to have a place to stay.
Hotels abound in almost every city and town in Iceland. In fact, if there is a gas station, hotel is a half-mile. Fresynes is on the map in spite of all the city consists of a gas station, a guesthouse and a hotel. Well, not a city. It is a stop.
Pensions are in vogue now. In the U.S., people start Internet companies as a full time job or to make a little money on the side. In Iceland, people open guesthouses. Farmers, gas station managers, graphic designers, everyone has a place to rent. These are the people who are nice too.
Hospital rooms may seem small when full of equipment, but when the building is renovated into a hostel, the rooms are spacious suddenly. Missing a nursing home becomes a fantastic hostel home.
The construction of new buildings, especially after the severe economic trauma of 2008, is prohibitively expensive, so that Icelanders make full use of the phrase "use, wear out, do it, or do without." In reality , met the first three so well that "without" never comes into play. As you can see real estate investments in Iceland are very creative business.
Natur Hotel Take, for example. A new guest house across the fjord Eyjafjörður the northern city of Akureyri. Originally a barn, now has twenty-four beautifully decorated rooms with en suite bathrooms, a dining room that would give smaller restaurants a run for their money, conference facilities and a whirlpool. Not bad for a long, low building used for storage of hay until 2005.
With all this property in hand, only Iceland has a higher number of visitors. Southern Europe as the Spanish and Italians come in the winter. Summer is for the Germans and the British and Americans and a few Dutch tourist. Each group almost sticks to his season. However, Iceland is a fantastic all year. Changing places, like the light of day - in winter it's dark by 4: 24:00 and never darken in the summer - but the beauty of the country and people are always constant. Iceland is the world's best kept secret for a holiday worthy of the saga.
