A small contribution to protect the Faroe Islands 

A new sustainability fee was introduced in the Faroe Islands. From 1 February 2026, visitors aged 16 and above staying in paid accommodation in the Faroe Islands will contribute a sustainability fee of DKK 20 per night.

This fee is part of a new sustainable tourism law, passed by the Faroese Parliament in 2024, designed to ensure that the Faroe Islands remain a special place to visit now and in the future.

How your stay makes a difference

Your contribution goes directly towards caring for the places you experience, including:

• Maintaining and improving hiking trails
• Protecting fragile landscapes and natural areas
• Supporting thoughtful tourism planning
• Strengthening local communities and culture
• Enhancing the overall visitor experience

By contributing, you help reduce wear on nature, protect local traditions, and ensure that tourism benefits both visitors and residents alike.

How the fee is collected

Each accommodation provider decides how the fee is collected from guests. All funds are paid into a government-managed sustainability fund, which supports projects that protect nature, improve access, and promote responsible travel across the islands.

Traveling responsibly

The Faroe Islands’ approach to tourism is rooted in respect for our home, our people and our nature. The sustainability fee is a way for visitors to actively take part in protecting the landscapes and help keep the Faroe Islands wild, welcoming, and well cared for.

Thank you for being a responsible traveller.
