Iceland's Tourism Authority has introduced a new centralized incident reporting system aimed at improving traveler safety, mapping risks, and supporting preventive measures. The system will collect reports from tourism companies, travelers, and other stakeholders. The initiative follows increased concerns related to the growing number of tourists and was prompted by recent incidents such as the avalanche on Breiðamerkurjökull. The system draws inspiration from existing frameworks used by maritime authorities and local businesses.
