7 Dear Cris na Mar ns, It is with great pleasure that I invite you to our capital city Reykjavík, for the IFSW European Conference 2017. Iceland and Reykjavík as its capital city and heart of the mee ng, conference and incen ve service industry has been gaining tremendous momentum in recent years with growing numbers of events as well as overall growth in guests far beyond the overall growth rate in the global industry. This posi ve development is truly supported by the fact that the interna onal airport serves as a hub between Europe and USA providing a wide selec on of direct connec ons and high frequency with just 3 hour flights from Europe and 5 hours from east coast USA. Furthermore the level of professionalism in all service aspects and throughout the value chain has reached an interna onal stature of highest quality and at the same me with a very dis nc ve flavour to it due to the spectacular nature at the doorsteps of Reykjavík. To name a few the Blue Lagoon is the only SPA in the world on the list of 25 Top Wonders of the World according to Na onal Geographic. Also one does not have to drive far to be in close proximity of thundering waterfalls and ac ve spou ng geysers. We believe that ideal part of a professional program is out of the ordinary nature experience combined in a professional manner. It is also with great pride I offer you our sincere services and assistance in bringing the IFSW European Congress 2017 on a successful path to impeccable execu on and we would be honoured to host your congress in Reykjavík. As the official conven on bureau of Reykjavík, our job is to promote the capital city and its infrastructure as the leading conference des na on it has become. We put you in contact with the right professionals and can provide you with informa on of any kind. Needless to say our service is free of charge.
