What was announced
On 18 September 2026, the Icelandic Tourist Board announced a short course for tourism operators using Incident Guard. The board describes the service as a way to record accidents, incidents and near misses so that businesses can learn from them and improve prevention.
Why travellers might care
The announcement concerns how operators learn from events, rather than a new attraction or a visitor booking service. Our practical takeaway is to ask an activity provider how it handles safety information and changes in conditions, alongside questions about the experience itself.
Keep the distinction clear
A business’s use of a reporting system is not, by itself, proof that a particular activity is suitable for you. This brief does not assess any operator or certify its procedures. Read the board’s announcement for the course details.
