How can popular tourist sites remain unspoiled by tourism?
We found a solution and you can become part of it!

After two successful events in 2019 and 2021, we once again call on voluntourists worldwide to sign up for our ‘Closed for Maintenance, Open for Voluntourism’ initiative to help us preserve our beautiful islands, for the good of both future visitors and locals.

From 4 to 6 May 2022 100 participants will work alongside Faroe Islanders working on old village paths, creating safer routes and re-building cairns in return for free accommodation, food and transport on the islands over a three-night period. All projects will be identified by a mix of local municipalities, tourism centres and local villagers.

You can be part of this and sign up today on our website.

Previous ´Closed for Maintenance, Open for Voluntourism´ projects have seen extraordinarily high numbers of volunteers offering to help with thousands of applications from people worldwide.

The total of 200 voluntourists who have taken part in the last two projects have represented more than 25 different nations, all working together with the local Faroese, and making a tangible, positive difference to the environment.

We hope that our annual project will also inspire other countries to set up their own Maintenance Crews, encouraging visitors to help to redress the impact of tourism worldwide.

Registration to become part of the 2022 Maintenance Crew will open today, Tuesday 14 December at 11.00 hrs (UK time) and will remain open for 24 hours; 100 people will be chosen randomly to take part, and will be notified by email in January.
