As the world went into collective pandemic lockdown, the last thing people stuck inside with their pent-up frustrations needed was a tourism campaign from somewhere they couldn’t go.

The insight behind the campaign was born from the experience that Visit Iceland team members were all feeling around the globe and verified through social media and consumer survey analysis. Wherever you were, we were all sharing a universal experience – countless days and nights struggling with crippling fear of the pandemic and mind-numbing stress and boredom of life in lockdown. So how could Iceland deliver a uniquely cathartic experience for would-be travellers locked at home?
