AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Travel Buzz: United Airlines says “astro tourism” is surging, with more people flying for meteor showers, eclipses and Northern Lights—turning Iceland and the Nordics into sky-watching magnets. Local Culture (and awkward moments): A reminder for visitors: Iceland’s public hot springs still expect a full shower with soap before entering, no swimwear—simple rules, big culture shock. Politics & Cost of Living: Iceland’s EU accession talks are looking less popular ahead of the August 29 referendum, while a new analysis says Iceland is now the world’s most expensive country, driven by tariffs and weak competition. Aviation: Alaska Airlines launched daily Seattle–London Heathrow service, with Reykjavík starting May 28. Business/Regulation: Iceland’s telecom regulator has sent ESA a draft on changing fibre obligations in some local-access areas. Entertainment: Björk’s viral South African DJ set has people buzzing.
