"Yeah there’s been a huge upside and 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."

"But I think the most important part is that we do it in the correct way and we try to include as many parts of the Greenlandic population as possible because we’re going see a growth. We’re going to see a capitalistic growth and I think that the most important factor is that this is going to have like the biggest positive outcome for those who live in this country and we should do it in a pace where everybody can follow along. Don’t do it too fast. We live 56,000 people in Greenland. And so don’t pace it, we should take our time, we should keep everyone in the loop and do our best."

"For me the worst thing would be, if mass tourism starts and people come here, and sort of look upon the Greenland people as if they were a living museum. It has to be done in a respectful way and you have to consider what the consequences are."
