2015 updates?
[edit]This article looks a little out of date, perhaps the graph and some of the figures could do with updating. I went to Iceland in March 2015, it seems some of the locals are talking more and more about tourism and that it may be increasing 20% per year. They seem to think the number of tourists has hit 1 million. I need to find some evidence of all of this. Can anyone help? hrf (talk) 08:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
appropriate ?
[edit]Information is often out of date, or poorly translated. The English speaking tourist may think that because almost all icelanders speak at least some English, that Tourist info will be well written as well. This is not true; the official information signs often have an English (rarely, german/french) translation and that translation is often just plain wrong. Eg in the center of Reykjavik is a sign about the first baker in Iceland; the English says the bakery was established in 1920 (!!); but one can deduce from the Icelandic text that this occured in 1820 Another example is the location of the Park HQ for the national park at the tip of the peninsula https://www.west.is/en/west-iceland-regions/visit-snaefellsnes The location is not given correctly in any of the common English language handbooks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.157.58.170 (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
