Visit Faroe Islands Meetings introduces the most important sports, the leaders and acknowledgements to create context for all meeting planners involved in sport events.
Visit Faroe Islands’ 2019 campaign promotes the business potential and strong industries as well as collective interest of the Faroe Islands relevant for global commercial or scientific communities. Case studies and portraits of experts and introductions of the special knowledge locally available, showcase the impressive efforts of the small nation about how passion, vision, engagement and efforts can put a tiny society on a level playing field with much larger nations.
There are many interesting stories about the Faroe Islands, their remote location, their unique nature, people, traditions, food and many more. Now the different aspects of knowledge and business ad to that magic spell and provide reason and inspiration for international meeting planners to hold their conferences on the islands.
To support this initiative, Visit Faroe Islands has created 2 new profiles for the meetings community to follow:

Here is a summary of the most popular sport initiatives and engagements:
- The Faroe Islands are a Role Model for successful Community Sport Activities!
Despite being a rather small society of only around 50.000 inhabitants on 18 islands, there is a variety of different sport associations and many clubs and teams-ambitious international engagements are driven by both politics and the local sport fans. The Faroe Islands have started a campaign to be recognized as an independent Nation to compete in the Olympic Games.
