Icelanders are being urged to use social networking website Facebook, Twitter or a newly created tourism promotion website–Inspired by Iceland–to help promote the country’s attractions.
“It’s a worldwide campaign to let the rest of the world know that Iceland isn’t completely covered in ash,” Icelandic tourist board director of marketing Jon Gunnar Borgthorsson said.
