Greenland Travel has opened a new office in Qaqortoq. This was marked at a reception on Wednesday, December 3rd.
Greenland Travel informs this in a press release.
The office is housed in Disko Line's premises at the shipyard and is staffed by Tina Lauritsen, who after many years in Greenland Travel's department in Copenhagen has returned to her hometown.
- After many years away, I have had a growing desire to come home and be closer to my family here. In addition, the opening of Qaqortoq's new regional airport in April next year provides local enthusiasm and new opportunities to develop the town and the area. It is both enormously exciting and rewarding to be able to help shape the development here over the next few years, says travel consultant, Tina Lauritsen.
Greenland Travel is part of the Air Greenland Group and is the largest travel agency in Greenland, both for business and leisure travel. Through the digital platform Arctic Excursions, they offer excursions throughout the country.
Several local tourism players in South Greenland have already been established.
Develop tourism
The opening of the office fits into Greenland Travel's desire to be close to its core customers and support business development in the region, says Director Mikkel Søndergård:
- Greenland Travel has been investigating the possibility of being present in Qaqortoq for some time, as we serve a number of local companies and public institutions in the region. With new infrastructure and more players within transport and accommodation, the offer is also becoming more complex. We can both advise and gain access to products that ensure business travelers the most efficient travel logistics to, from and around Greenland.
Greenland Travel will also help develop tourism in the region through the use of Arctic Excursions.
- Qaqortoq and South Greenland are a unique destination, and I am very much looking forward to us together further developing and promoting the region's many opportunities, to the benefit of the operators and our mutual guests, says Mikkel Søndergård.
The office in Qaqortoq will be Greenland Travel's fourth in Greenland, after Nuuk, Ilulissat and Sisimiut. Including the office in Copenhagen, Greenland Travel has 52 employees who handle all types of travel to, from and within Greenland as well as internationally.
