greengate incoming

tórshavn, the faroe islands

twenty years of faroese events. and still the first to know what's new.

the longest-established event planner on the islands, greengate has spent over two decades building the local relationships that make the difference between a good faroe islands programme and an exceptional one. their mice team has a specific instinct for finding new venues, operators and experiences before they appear on anyone else's radar — the kind of local intelligence that can't be built quickly.
 
// in practice
  • locally owned and faroe islands-based for over 20 year
  • works exclusively with local faroese guides, operators and suppliers; income from programmes flows into the islands' communities directly
  • active partner of visit faroe islands in shaping responsible visitor frameworks for the destination
  • programme design built around the faroe islands' finite capacity model — quality over volume, considered access over mass throughput
  • north atlantic network across greenland and iceland operates under the same responsible principles — fragile destinations, managed carefully
  • certified safe to visit operator
  • committed to introducing buyers to new and emerging faroese operators, helping to distribute tourism benefit across the islands rather than concentrating it in established channels

// well suited for
  • incentive groups requiring deep local knowledge and access to experiences beyond the standard offer
  • international conferences and professional congresses needing full end-to-end management
  • corporate team gatherings and company events of all sizes
  • leadership retreats where the freshness and credibility of the programme matters
  • product launches and brand events that need a distinctive north atlantic backdrop
  • multi-destination groups extending across greenland and iceland as part of a broader north atlantic programme

overview

greengate incoming is the faroe islands' most established event management operation — and one of the most trusted in the north atlantic.

the group operates hotel føroyar, hotel tórshavn and a collection of restaurants across the islands. that integration isn't just a commercial structure — it means the food, the stay and the programme are shaped by the same people, with the same sensibility, and a genuine affection for the place they've built their business in. for mice buyers used to coordinating between multiple suppliers to achieve a coherent result, enjoy's model is a different kind of conversation.

the food culture deserves its own sentence. tórshavn has attracted michelin attention, and enjoy have spent years building direct relationships with the fishermen, farmers and producers who make faroese gastronomy what it is. a private fishing trip followed by dinner at a local family's table, cooked from what was caught that morning, isn't something that can be assembled at short notice.

enjoy read the faroe islands well. they know that the weather here is part of the experience, not an obstacle to it. they know which trails are worth the conditions and which experiences only work with a local in the room. they design around the destination's character rather than despite it — and that, more than any operational capability, is what makes them a fantastic partner.


what this could look like

  • private access to a new faroese venue or experience that hasn't entered the public market yet — sourced through greengate's local network and offered to unearth buyers before anyone else gets there

  • a traditional faroese rowing experience on tórshavn harbour in a historic wooden boat, with local rowers, followed by a dinner of faroese specialities prepared by a chef who grew up eating them

  • a full day on the northern islands: the cliffs at enniberg — at 754 metres, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world — walked with a guide who can name every bird on the face and explain why this specific corner of the north atlantic matters

  • a visit to mykines at puffin season: a small boat, a clifftop path, and a guide whose family has lived on the island for generations

  • a privately managed international conference, fully coordinated by greengate — delegate logistics, accommodation, session management, social programming and a closing dinner that reflects the destination — with the buyer holding none of the operational threads

  • a post-forum north atlantic extension: faroe islands to greenland or iceland, curated for a small group of senior buyers who want more of the region

  • a private cultural evening in kirkjubøur, the islands' oldest settlement, with local context and a dinner that reflects traditional faroese food culture at its most honest
