Definitely. Since 2013, Iceland has been advertised more as a tourist destination leading to more tourists.

Interesting. I had wanted to go for years, because Icelandair had been promoting "Fly to Europe, lay over in Iceland for a few days" rather than Iceland as a destination unto itself. Sounds like I nabbed it just in time.

I only had time for the touristy stuff in the immediate vicinity of Reykjavik. I would like to go back and see it more intimately.

Some reason HN didn't notify me you replied.

Weird.

Anyways, I hypothesize that some TV shows from taking place in Iceland brought a lot of attention to the landscape which was capitalized on by the Tourism departement.
