SS+K from New York and Peel Iceland from Reykjavik campaign launched 19-05-2022

Icelandic horses type out out-of-office replies on an outdoor keyboard - freeing travelers to disconnect completely

The agency Peel Iceland created hoof-friendly keyboards and scripted the visual scene of horses typing across Icelandic landscapes.

During the early days of the Internet the Icelandic tourist board registered the domain when it was still available

They did not need to aquired it froma Domain Investor or a company using Visit Iceland.com for a seperate project

It took 5 years to launch the website but owning the VisitIceland.com domain since 1999 demonstrates that
Iceland is an internet savvy country.

Every national Tourist Board in the Nordic countries as well as many Nordic cities use the same pattern.

Denmark including Greenland
