In recent years, Iceland has become a top destination for international travelers. Between 2016 and 2019, the 380,000 inhabitant nation welcomed from five to seven tourists per inhabitant. However, the tourism intensity in the Nordic country plunged to less than two visitors per inhabitant in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
