Most of the women are foreign, and police suspects they are victims of international prostitution rings which ship them from one country to the next, stopping only for a very brief time in each city. This growing industry is primarily operated online, through websites that advertise escort services or through social media, including Facebook. Prostitution is a growing industry in Reykjavík, largely due to growing tourism.

Rampant growth in tourism-from 200,000 in 1995 to two million in 2019, exceeding six times the population-too many cars, and the partial return of the United States to Keflavik Naval Base are all signs of decaying humanistic values.
Tourism has produced drug smuggling, rampant pornography, escalating prostitution that did not exist before, and gouging by some businessmen and politicians. I am concerned, however, that a growing fast life sub-culture-especially in the ever-growing Capital Region where 60% of the 345,000 population live on just 1% of the land-could lead this peaceful and intelligent people to deteriorate into ruinous consumerism as happens to most people in the world when they have the chance. We can learn from the Icelandic people’s sense of assuming political responsibility, their tightknit togetherness-98% know people they can rely on-and from their culture, which fosters more authors per capita than any country in the world.
