WELLNESS COUNTRY ICELAND

by Vatnavinir ( Waterfriends )

Water is an artery of life

Wellness country Iceland is a concept to promote health related tourism in Iceland.  The abundance of water and geothermal energy is a unique resource  of Iceland.  The network of water arteries in nature offer an inspiration to join efforts in a network supporting interrelated initiatives for future economic regeneration.

Forming of interdependent alliences of interest will support innovations in water related treatment centres locally and nationally.  The network of treatment centres and communities will maintain, develop and proliferate their own identities in mutually enriching ways.  The centres can be found in semi-urban, rural or natural settings, by the shoreline, in the countryside or the mountains.

By treading lightly the human footprint is minimized.  The unique natural setting of Iceland demands unique responses,  with respect for nature and local context guiding any interventions.  Thus every centre will be unique in nature and experience providing multiple choices of journeys between differenct wellbeing centers across Iceland.
