Greenland blasted apart close to six million cubic meters of granite to make its capital reachable, then wrote a tourism law to keep the arrival from happening to it. The 2025 law requires that at least two-thirds of every tour operator be locally owned: a country of 56,000 people, whose economy is close to 90 percent fish and a Danish grant covering half of government revenue, betting on itself as a second industry. The runways are mostly built and the rules mostly written. The rooms are not: 586 hotel beds in Nuuk, travelers stranded last summer, cots folded in the airport for the nights the plane lands and there is nowhere to sleep. Most places never even tried to write the law.
