Question

The eruption in Reykjanes a year ago was often called a tourist eruption. Now that the eruption is over and perhaps temporarily, various lessons can be learned from what happened in future policy-making if another eruption similar to this happens.

 

The flow of people to see the eruption became enormous. This caused a variety of problems. A micro-queue on the road led to delays. Problems with parking meant that visitors had to park far away and walk long distances to get to the eruption. A large number of people also reduced the stillness of nature and thus reduced the impact of the eruption exhibition for many.

 

Discuss the economic problem here and the nature of the quality that the road to the eruption site, the ability to lay nearby and the area to watch the eruption with experience in mind reflect. At the same time, consider the quality classification in general. What economic solutions are available to enhance people's experience and reduce the impact of the above so that people's experience of a tourist eruption like this can be enhanced?
