British tourists are apparently very interested in visiting North Iceland. British travel agency Super Break has organised chartered flights between Britain and Akureyri in North Iceland and already, 75 percent of seats are booked. 

This means that around 2.500 Brits will be going to Akureyri in the New Year, using 8.800 hotel nights which in turn will increase the tourism turnover in North Iceland by 15-20 percent.
