The annual Mid-Atlantic Tradeshow was held in Reykjavík last weekend and Gentle Giants took an active part. Never before have so many people attended. All in all we were around 850 participants, thereof 530 foreign guests from 21 nationalities.
Mid-Atlantic Tradeshow starts tomorrow in Reykjavík and Gentle Giants will be there. We are warming up for the event and are looking very much forward to it. Gentle Giants is located at booth S22, where our sales team Stefán, Halli, Alexia and Daniel will welcome you with a giant smile.
Our online job application form for season 2016 has been open for several weeks and we have received many great applications from all over the world. The deadline for applying for a job is on 31st January and we are searching for guides and ticket sales staff for the upcoming season.
Yesterday Gentle Giants participated in the annual Mannamót – Natural Iceland Tourism Workshop, which was held at Eagle Air Headquarters in Reykjavík. CEO & Marketing Manager Stefán and Sales Manager Halli represented the company and were happy with the event.
During the winter months, there is little going on within tourism in Húsavík. GG staff member and journalist Alexia Annisius Askelöf went home to her family in Húsavík for Christmas and used the opportunity to make a travel reportage from our fishing village.
Yet another year has gone by, a year full of exciting moments and successful operation. It is time to focus on new opportunities to come, but before leaving 2015 behind, we would like to bring you back to some of the last season’s highlights.
Gentle Giants is very proud of its staff which consists of both local and international people of all ages with various backgrounds and experiences. Every year we receive many job applications from all over the world.
Christmas is getting closer and our boats Sylvía, Faldur and Aþena have been decorated with Christmas lights. The boats look great and it gives a very nice touch to Húsavík harbour in the darkest time period of the year.
Even though there are no scheduled tours during the winter months, there are still many projects going on within the company, preparing for the next season. In Húsavík, our Fleet Manager Karl Óskar and his team are doing a great job taking care of our boats and facilities.
