There is no pollution in Greenland and people here care greatly for the environment. Seals are an important resource in Greenland. They supply the population with food and clothing. Great Greenland, the Home Rule Authority's tannery, produces fashion fur coats for the international market. We hope to be able to develop oil and mining industries over the next few years.
Tourism is a new and developing industry.
About 20,000 tourists visit Greenland every year. As a visitor you will encounter nature in its magnificence, untouched mountain areas, clean air and beautiful scenery. Internal travel is by ship , plane or helicopter. Once kayaks were used for hunting throughout Greenland. Today they are used mainly in the northern and eastern parts of the country and for sport.
