According to Svanhildur Konrádsdóttir, the department director of Visit Reykjavík, the selection committee had decided the marketing office should receive a special recognition for its “outstanding achievement.”
“This is an enormous encouragement for us and Visit Reykjavík’s staff, which has done an excellent job and achieved more than could have been expected of such a small marketing office,” Konrádsdóttir said.
