- AmericanChopper 7y agoIf Icelanders aren’t happy with their current level of sovereignty, then perhaps they should do that. Otherwise they may consider directing some of the 10% of their GDP they generate through tourism to solving some of these problems.
- aikah 7y ago> That would require withdrawing from Schengen No, Ireland isn't in the Schengen zone. Irish people are free to visit Europe (since part of the EU). Also a Schengen VISA DOES NOT allow one to visit oversea French territories. You can't visit The Guadeloupe with a Schengen VISA. So things are a bit more complicated and wouldn't necessary impact Icelander's ability to travel to Europe, it entirely depends on what kind of deal Island signed with the rest of the EU.
- Symbiote 7y agoThat's one option, but another would be taxes: increase landing tax for flights, hotel tax, car rental tax, tourist services tax, etc. Or simply limit numbers: require that people buy tickets to enter particular places (including national parks), and restrict entry once the place is "full".
