[dropcap style=”one” color=”grey” text=”I” /]f you are a thinking person, and we believe the majority of Total Iceland readers are, you know well the difficulty for giant companies to keep staff on their toes. Former giants like TWA, Woolworths, General Foods and others come to mind. Very successful companies for a while but complacency sent those straight to the grave when the future knocked.
One of the largest tour operators in Iceland, Iceland Travel, a subsidiary of Icelandair which is one of the largest companies in Iceland just heavily shit their pants. Employing almost one hundred people doing nothing but caring for tourist groups this company made the rather embarrassing error in a recent publication of recommending a few local restaurants that closed down long ago.
This may seem just a minor unfortunate error but a travel information company offering outdated information is worse than none. Reykjavik city has only about 50 or so real restaurants in total and verifying which ones are in business is not hard work at all.
In any case, make sure if you do business with the large companies here, you are getting up-to-date information.
