Tourism is a relatively recent industry, considering the turnover and number of tourists. In 1999, 519,000 tourists came to the country. In 2018, almost 3 million passengers passed through Keflavík Airport. As can be seen from these figures, the growth has been enormous this century, and now, with the completion of Covid-19, a new period of growth in tourism is ahead.
There has also been a large increase in the number of cruise ships arriving in Iceland. In 1984, more than 7,000 passengers came to Reykjavík Harbor on cruise ships. In 2019, there were about 188 thousand. Although ships stop for a short time in each port, it is common for passengers to go on all kinds of excursions and explore the land.
The figures are from the Statistics Iceland Website (https://statice.is/)
