A major event in the prosperous Norwegian market, the Reseliv travel fair attracted over 40 thousand travel enthusiasts this year. Iceland got a lot of interest from guest trying out among other things Icelandic food products. The Icelandic tomatoes were most popular among the guests, who were surprised to learn that tomatoes are grown in the nordic island.
The tomatoes and various other vegetables and fruits are grown in green-houses around Iceland, heated by geothermal energy and illuminated with hydroelectric power in the dark winter months.
The Icelandic companies that participated this year were Reykjavík Excursions, Iceland Travel, Reykjanes Detox Health Center, Seatours, Isak and the Icelandic SagaTrail Association.
