Workforce in Iceland
Iceland's hospitality sector employs approximately 25,000 workers during peak season, making it one of the largest employment sectors. Tourism accounts for over 8% of Iceland's GDP, with over 2 million annual visitors. The industry requires both year-round staff and seasonal workers to handle the summer peak.
Industry Growth & Outlook
Following pandemic recovery, Iceland's tourism industry is projected to grow 12-15% annually through 2026. New hotel developments in Reykjavik and regional areas will create 3,000+ new hospitality positions. The sector faces ongoing challenges in finding qualified, service-oriented workers, particularly those with language skills and tourism experience.
