𝗩𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 We had an amazing experience at the World Passenger Festival 2024 in Vienna! The event was a fantastic opportunity to gather new insights and connect with railway industry leaders, experts, and innovators from around the world. Our highlights from the WPF:    🚆𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀!🚆  2023 has seen a significant surge in demand for rail travel. However, the excitement was accompanied by challenges, such as overcrowded trains, prolonged use of aging rolling stock, and technical issues leading to more delays. Instead of emerging as a smart alternative to car rides or short-haul flights, the rail customer experience has unfortunately declined in recent months.    💡 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽?💡  At the CEO keynote opening panel, this topic took center stage. LTG Link from Lithuania shared their success story: converting CO2 savings into points for future ride discounts. Their Green Loyalty initiative attracted 18% new customers and grew to 60,000 club members within a year. Imagine the potential impact in larger rail markets like Germany, France, the Nordics, the UK, or Spain!    ✨ 𝗟𝗣𝗦 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 ✨  Jochen Lehner’s presentation at the loyalty session and our team’s discussions at the LPS booth showcased the transformative power of loyalty programs. By focusing on customer centricity, data management, and tailored loyalty program designs, we’re helping railway companies enhance their customer experience and build stronger partnerships.    Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and attended Jochen Lehner's talk. We look forward to staying connected and continuing these conversations!    #RailTravel #LoyaltySolutions #CustomerExperience #Sustainability #Innovation #LoyaltyPrograms #RailwayInnovation #CustomerCentricity

What a successful week in Vienna!   At the World Passenger Festival, we spent two incredible days engaging in meaningful conversations and fostering valuable networking opportunities with our industry partners. A highlight was our panel discussion on "Delivering an integrated digital customer experience across 35 carrier members and 33 countries—the Eurail perspective".   Our busy agenda in Vienna did not end there.    The Full Assembly brought together the Supervisory Board and Members of Eurail Governance for our in-person annual meeting to continue our work of delivering the best possible cross-border European rail customer experience.

As businesses are moving toward a more sustainable way of travel, we need ecosystems that seemlessy connect to any rail content in the world empowering travelers to make informed choices. Tomorrow we will publish here our white paper on how to gain corporate customers and embrace multimodality in the rail industry, watch this space! #businesstravel #traveltech #rail #sustainabletravel
