Hostelling International-Iceland celebrates its 70 years anniversary
Hostelling International-Iceland celebrates its 70 years anniversary this year, but the association was formed on March 2 1939. HI-Iceland is a member of Hostelling International, which in turn celebrates its 100 anniversary this year.

Since its inception the organisation's main goal has been to promote and encourage people of all ages to travel and to increase their knowledge and appreciation of nature and culture. To this end HI Iceland runs various projects, such as

  • Owning and running two hostels in Reykjavík
  • Running a network of 31 privately-owned hostels in Iceland
  • Managing The Reykjavík Campsite
  • Accommodation and restaurant in Húsadalur in Þórsmörk
  • Operation of the campsite at Slyppugil in Þórsmörk
  • Travel agency and booking center in Reykjavík

The anniversary is being celebrated throughout the whole year, e.g. in March the CEOs of Hostelling International worldwide held a meeting in Reykjavík.

Bookings and visits have increased both by Icelandic and foreign guests during the anniversary year and HI-Iceland looks towards a bright future, built on a good foundation.
