About World of Greenland
Unique lodges and tours in Greenland
World of Greenland is driven by delivering great experiences. We develop and operate unique lodges in Greenland. All our lodges have in common that their magnificent location and well-considered concept merge into a higher unity, which is to give our visitors the exclusive and authentic experience they will not soon forget.
World of Greenland is part of the Air Greenland group, and we are therefore owned by the Greenlandic community.
We are a commercial limited liability company, founded on January 1, 2007, owned by Air Greenland. Our owners reinvest any profits each year in new initiatives that help market Greenland as a sustainable and exciting destination on an international scale.
We always keep a close eye on tourism trends and act as first movers in relation to these. Through close contact with our guests and partners, we continuously evaluate new ideas and launch flagships that will become pioneering projects for further initiatives in Greenlandic tourism and business.
We work purposefully with Visit Greenland's national tourism strategy as a guideline, and believe that we will get the furthest through cooperation - both locally and nationally.
World of Greenland's mission is to deliver the most exotic and unique experiences to the discerning and quality-conscious traveler, through a continuous focus on quality, responsibility and sustainable development.
World of Greenland's vision is to lift Greenland in a sustainable way through development and partnerships.
World of Greenland is for you who want a little more. For you who want to experience what Greenland really has to offer. For you who dare to go off the beaten track. And not least for you who care about the impression you leave on your journey through Greenland.
Sustainable tourism development
The Air Greenland Group's overall vision is to lift Greenland in a sustainable way together with the local business community through development and partnerships.
World of Greenland is committed to safeguarding the country's interests and contributing to promoting the development of sustainable tourism locally.
The three focus areas for sustainable local tourism development are…
Geographical distribution
To work on creating a geographical spread of tourism by building Lodges. This contributes to job creation, development and economy in different parts of the country.
Seasonal extension
To strive to extend the tourist season by developing winter and year-round experiences. This aims to ensure year-round employment and motivate locals to engage in tourism.
Local cooperation
Prioritize collaboration with other operators to strengthen capacity and competency building locally in the tourism industry.
Sustainable lodges
Sustainability is a central part of World of Greenland's product development, and therefore it is important to minimize the environmental and climate impact in the places where we build lodges.
The 3 overall focus points for sustainability in lodge development are…
Sustainable cabins
We use a high level of renewable energy in our lodges, and build with materials that have the least possible CO2 emissions and environmental impact.
Transport
We seek to minimize shipping distances by purchasing and sourcing as many local products as possible.
Waste and recycling
We recycle as much as we can in all aspects of the lodge's operation, including building materials, interiors and food products.
On the separate lodge pages, you can learn more about how each lodge works with sustainability.
