A popul<strong>at</strong>ion of more than 5000 inhabitants makes Iluliss<strong>at</strong><br />
the biggest town and municipality in the nort<strong>her</strong>n region of<br />
<strong>Greenland</strong>. Iluliss<strong>at</strong> is loc<strong>at</strong>ed in North <strong>Greenland</strong> near the<br />
most productive glacier in the nort<strong>her</strong>n hemisp<strong>her</strong>e and the<br />
famous Iluliss<strong>at</strong> Ice Fiord which has now been inscribed in<br />
UNESCO’s World Heritage List.<br />
Iluliss<strong>at</strong> is a productive, dynamic and busy town domin<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
by fishing and tourism which make Iluliss<strong>at</strong> a n<strong>at</strong>urally leading<br />
centre <strong>for</strong> North <strong>Greenland</strong>.<br />
Within fishing the <strong>Greenland</strong>ic Ice Fiord halibut is dominant<br />
being leniently fished from skiffs and by means of dog sledges<br />
in the UNESCO approved Ice Fiord complex placing Iluliss<strong>at</strong><br />
as a world leading town in this respect. In addition to the<br />
<strong>Greenland</strong>ic Ice Fiord halibut species like shrimps, snow crabs<br />
and cod are fished and proces<strong>se</strong>d as primary species to be<br />
exported. Utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion of a wide range of ot<strong>her</strong> exotic fish species<br />
is being explored and has an export potential.<br />
As a n<strong>at</strong>ural part of tourism development the Ice Fiord complex,<br />
the glacier and the tall icebergs are highlighted. The<strong>se</strong><br />
can be enjoyed on foot, from helicopter and by bo<strong>at</strong>, not<br />
least during the time of the midnight sun in the summer<br />
period. In addition an exciting and challenging <strong>se</strong>ttlement<br />
tourism is offered.<br />
Iluliss<strong>at</strong> Commercial Council is a major <strong>for</strong>ce in respect of<br />
development within fishing, oil and mineral industries, and<br />
local commerce in general, and is a helper and solid partner<br />
<strong>for</strong> both established and new companies, from entrepreneurs<br />
to bigger projects.<br />
The future str<strong>at</strong>egy of Iluliss<strong>at</strong>, both in respect of fishing and<br />
tourism, is directed towards regional cooper<strong>at</strong>ion within<br />
North <strong>Greenland</strong>, a development with a high priority. This<br />
also <strong>for</strong>ms the basis <strong>for</strong> viable development possibilities focusing<br />
on high value processing and promotion in accordance<br />
with our belief th<strong>at</strong> many small opportunities are in total<br />
<strong>Greenland</strong>’s gre<strong>at</strong>est opportunity.<br />
