    We were thrilled when Vakinn was introduced to Iceland as we strongly believe that customers have the right to know that when they buy a service that it is of high quality and that it is secure. Vakinn quality is in our opinion the correct tool to ensure that the service bought and delivered is exactly that.”

    I believe it is healthy for all companies to undertake such consolidated self-criticism of their operations, and I think that it is an added benefit that we are then prepared for most, or all, of the unexpected occurrences that may crop up in the daily running of the service we provide. One feels satisfied after an overhaul of this type – just as one feels after a major spring cleaning.

    We decided to join VAKINN because we wanted to be active participants in the development of the country’s tourism industry, where issues such as quality, environmental matters, integrity, safety and ethics are a guiding light. We regard VAKINN as an efficient method of monitoring our internal operation which is externally reflected to our clients and partners.

    With the coming of VAKINN we now have an important tool with which to support increased quality and safety in the tourist industry. This also gives foreign visitors the opportunity to choose recognised services using a coordinated system which has passed the standards set by an objective party.
