  1. General presentations

    • 1106052 – Survey of the number of tourists in Hafnarfjörður in 2011.

      The tourist information centre at the Service Desk and the Folk Museum were discussed. Anna Bára Gunnarsdóttir, Head of the Service Desk, and Björn Pétursson, Director of the Folk Museum, attended the meeting and reviewed the summer.

      Anna Bára Gunnarsdóttir reported that the first figures on the number of tourists at the Visitor Centre show an increase from the previous year. The need to improve signage from the Visitor Centre to the Folk Museum was discussed, as information is provided to tourists at the Folk Museum at weekends. It was decided to task Anna Bára, Björn and Marín with finding a solution to the matter.

      Björn Pétursson, director of the Folk Museum, attended the meeting and spoke about the European project „Lifelong Learning Programme“, entitled 'Promoting Early European Photography'. A visit to Iceland by the other participating countries, England and Slovakia, is planned.

      The committee thanks you for the presentation.
