Consumers can weigh many factors when deciding on a cruise—port location and appeal being two. Recent research among active cruisers from five key markets demonstrated a strong preference for setting sail within one's own global region.

Last year France banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions. This among others affected flights between Paris-Bordeaux (560km by car) and Paris-Lyon (460km by car).  https://lnkd.in/daB2VAVp   This year the Danish government wants to support short-haul flights in Denmark by introducing a zero-VAT on the airports. Among the affected airports and flights are Karup-CPH (320km by car), Sønderborg-CPH (315 km by car) and Aarhus-CPH (347km). And interesting enough this initiative comes at a time where flight frequency among the Danes are “back to normal” after the Covid lockdown. Why do we keep supporting high carbon emission activities? Why not invest in better trains also in Denmark so we can cut transport time and carbon emissions? https://lnkd.in/dT7bYHsC #carbonemissions #travelindustry #transport
