Since the rise in cosmetic and health tourism over the past few years, the Asbru Enterprise Park has been driving itself as the international centre for health and relaxation. A health tourism clinic is being built at Asbru and it will open its doors during the fall of 2011. Health related tourist services will lead to increased diversity in the Reykjanes economy, create new jobs and increase foreign currency income.
