AGP Executive Report

Last update: 36 minutes ago

Whaling & Deportations: Iceland has ordered the expulsion of 21 anti-whaling activists from the Bandero, with re-entry bans across Schengen for non-EEA nationals (and only Iceland for EEA nationals). The crew has been allowed to leave the vessel but must report regularly to police while deportation is enforced, after Icelandic authorities accused them of suspected violations of international maritime law and endangering maritime safety during an Operation 86 confrontation with Hvalur 9. Travel Rules: MAST has updated biosecurity rules on what travellers can bring into Iceland, including an absolute ban on certain foodstuffs for non-EU/EEA arrivals and zero tolerance for loose or unlabelled items, which customs can confiscate and destroy on the spot. Local Safety: In the Westfjords, Bolungarvík says cracked glass panels at the Bolafjall viewing platform are due to winter snow, not visitor pressure, and replacement panes have been ordered; the steep access road is also set for improvements after a recent rollover. Politics: A Gallup National Pulse survey shows Iceland’s Social Democratic Alliance on 27.9%, widening its statistically significant lead over the Independence Party at 25.4%. Tourism Snapshot: Preliminary figures show Reykjavík-area hotel overnight stays down 6.5% in June year-on-year, while South Iceland rose nearly 11%.
