Visit Faroe Islands seeks projects for maintenance event

Visit Faroe Islands is inviting proposals for projects for next year’s Closed for Maintenance event, with places for around 10 projects across the country, KVF reports.

Municipalities, tourist information centres, landowners and others can submit ideas. Everyone in the Faroe Islands has an equal opportunity to take part with a project. Around 100 participants from abroad will join local volunteers in the event, which runs from April 29 to May 1.

Municipalities or tourist information centres must submit a special application form. Other interested parties can apply through their municipality. Projects should be relevant to tourism and address specific needs, such as necessary repairs, new walking routes or viewpoints. Visit Faroe Islands will provide a fixed sum for food and accommodation, while the municipality or tourist information centre chooses the local providers. The deadline for proposals is November 10.
