A Growing Number of Travelers Are Visiting Greenland

"When a city or country is in the spotlight, it's logical to expect an uptick of interest in visiting there. Each of the locations where a season of The White Lotus was filmed has seen a corresponding increase in tourism, for instance. Being the subject of news headlines and heated negotiations isn't quite the same thing as being the setting for a prestige TV series, but recent data suggests that Greenland is also seeing more international visitors than usual."

"Last year, United Airlines added a direct flight connecting the New York metropolitan area to Nuuk, Greenland's largest city. And now, data from Air Greenland suggests a growing number of travelers are also making their way to a certain Danish autonomous territory from an array of destinations - including Denmark and the United States, two nations that had exchanged strong words about the latter's interest in acquiring Greenland."

"A spokesperson from the airline told Skift that they were seeing "high booking activity and a larger number of late bookings, which is unusual for the season." Where are these interested travelers located? According to the spokesperson, the bulk of the requests came from Denmark and Greenland, but interest from "the U.S., the U.K. and Germany" was also on the rise. Air Greenland's routes currently connect Greenland to destinations in Canada, Iceland and the U.K."
