Ólafsson believes that the Governmen's decision was badly thought out and that they did not take into consideration the hundreds of million Icelandic kronas generated by the Icelandic travel industry annually. The Icelandic association of whale watching companies have also condemned the decision to start commercial whaling and have challenged Sturla Böðvarsson, Minister for Tourism to ask for the decision to be reconsidered.
