From Wikipedia.
The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in South Iceland, covering about
300 km looping from Reykjavík into central Iceland and back.
The three primary stops on the route are the national park Þingvellir,
the waterfall Gullfoss (meaning "golden falls"), and the geothermally
active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur.
Other stops include Kerið volcano crater, Hveragerði greenhouse village,
Skálholt church, and the Nesjavellir geothermal power plant.
96% of all the tourists in Iceland visit the city of Reykjavík and it´s centre. Tourism is now providing for around 18% of the national income after the crash and that seems to be the main reason for all the hotel focus in the city. This is where investors are looking these days to invest their money.
But over time this unstable economy will change. Become more stable, even more unstable, who knows. Putting too much power in the hands of investors should really not be the way to go and the evidence of that are everywhere.
Build to last-not build on a whim.
A little sketch I did some time ago.... the "fools golden" circle...
