In addition, we use our expertise in planning incentives and events, as well as organizing programs for companies, clubs and conferences - for more than 23 years.

If you book with any company of the Iceland ProTravel Group, you are making reservations with a local business registered in your own country, where the laws and regulations of this country apply. In case of problems, it is of course much easier to take care of your case instead of contacting companies abroad, where maybe other laws and regulations may apply.
The Iceland ProTravel Group is staffed with Icelanders and international travel experts who have excellent knowledge about Iceland, Scandinavia and Greenland, and vast experience in selling these unique destinations. By booking with us, you can be sure you are getting the best quality and value for your money.
We have the obligatory local money guarantee insurance (e.g. ATOL in the UK, Reisepreis-Sicherungsschein in Germany), which secures your money in case we or any of our service providers go bankrupt. Please note that when you book individual services directly on the web, you may not have a guarantee in case of bankruptcy.
