Icelandic Market

Icelandic guy here. Iceland's biggest growing export right now is tourism, which is ruining the country for the local population. The restaurant business here is pretty interesting, they are more americanized than other Scandinavian countries (They have KFC, Taco Bell etc., which you won't find in Norway/Sweden/Finland). Also more way more obese people than you'd see in those other 3.


Feel free to ask any specific questions.

Thanks m8.
One of the things I wonder is about the average "spending culture" of Icelanders. It might sound like a stupid thing, but it makes a lot of difference when you are trying to do business with someone. I wonder if Icelanders are generally willing to spend and invest money in new business opportunities (like exporting to a new country).
Also, do Icelanders like importing foreign things? Things like buying foreign food, or going to foreign-themed restaurants...

As a Barcelonian Spanitard, I would advise Icelanders to not let tourism take over their economy. Having a little bit of it is okay, but here it almost completely substituted our industries, and depending on it is shitty as fuck.

Short answer: yes. Icelandic businessmen were notorious for this leading up to the financial crisis of 2008.

>Also, do Icelanders like importing foreign things? Things like buying foreign food, or going to foreign-themed restaurants...

Yes, very much. And especially American things. You'll see Range Rover's everywhere in Iceland. I.E. the example with KFC and Taco Bell. Dominos Pizza started in Iceland years ago, and Icelandic businessmen have actually gone to Sweden and Norway and started up Dominos there recently (2014). Heck, we even have Costco now.

You could say Iceland is culturally like a mix of Scandinavia and America. It's unique, really. Some people would compare it to Norway, but I've lived in both countries, and they are way different!

Yes, physical and manual jobs are plentiful. You can easily get a job without any education in a warehouse, fishing boat/factory, retail or in a bar.

Again, many thanks.

My last question to you is even less technical... What's the perception about Spain there? (And maybe especially about Barcelona)
On general terms: our people, food, culture...
