"I would say with the entire political situation with especially Donald Trump mentioning Greenland, it has kind of put Greenland on the world map. And it’s definitely a situation that Raw Arctic has used to our advantage because our goal and mission is to, yeah, it’s to present and be the ambassadors of Greenland and to show what beauty you can experience while you’re here. So, yeah, it has been a huge upside. And I think this is just the beginning."

"We really want to grow the tourism sector. It’s a very good fit for many in Greenland. Tourism is about good vibes. It’s about sharing culture, sharing history. It’s about storytelling. And as Inuit, that’s very much part of our heritage. It makes a lot of sense to develop this sector. And we wanna grow it to the double amount of what it is now. Right now it’s not a lot. We had 150,000 tourists last year. So there is room for growth without going on compromise with sustainability."

STORYLINE:
Greenland has a message for the rest of the world: We’re waiting for you.
The mineral-rich Arctic island is open for tourism. Whale-watching tours, excursions to the iconic puffin island and guided charters through remote settlements are just the beginning of what Greenland has to offer visitors. Locals want to show what makes the island unique beyond a recent diplomatic dustup with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Greenland gained worldwide attention when Trump earlier this year announced he wanted to take control of the semiautonomous Danish territory, through a purchase or possibly by force.
