Airport with history and also very important for the aviation industry

It baffles me why the expansion of Cork and Shannon airports isn't the key goal for Ireland. The regional development potential is significant, not to mention the tourism benefits. People may say we should be reducing our air travel in the face of the Climate Crisis, but the reality is as an island nation we are dependent on good air infrastructure to enable development, but Dublin is already at capacity, while out fantastic regional airports underutilised. https://lnkd.in/dkaXvkvr

As demand for European rail travel continues to grow, new cross border services are becoming available all the time. Last week, independent operator Snälltåget introduced a new long distance daytime service between Copenhagen and Stockholm. And in the next few years there are plans in place for new services between Amsterdam and Barcelona, Rome and Munich and Lisbon and Madrid among others. Demand is being driven by the benefits of faster door to door services compared with flying and more productive time while traveling - always being connected to colleagues, customers and the markets. It's a more sustainable way to travel and a simpler, more relaxing way to get to your destination. The new EU Parliament and EU Commission have a real opportunity to use the upcoming EU Track Access Fee and Multimodal Digital Mobility Services proposals to encourage cross border EU rail services in the next five years and we really hope they make the most of it. Take a look at the infographic below for International Rail's most popular continental Europe cross border services (according to 1track data). https://lnkd.in/gdN-4Mfn #internationalrail #trainbeatsplane #crossborderrail

Sometimes your tour has big negative impacts that you can't avoid. (internal flights, taking a private bus for transportation, visiting major attractions owned by multi-national companies- e.g. the money from the tickets doesn't stay locally) However you can do your best to restore the balance by adding in as many positive impacts as you can. For example, explaining to your guests how to use public transportation. Even if the tour doesn't actually utilize public transportation, the guests can take advantage once they've finished with the tour. https://buff.ly/43xKosQ #responsibletourism #tourguides #responsibletravel #tourguide #toursandactivities
