What happens when you mix the fire-and-ice magic of Iceland with the blues, skyscrapers and culinary delights of the Midwest via Icelandair thanks to Brand USA? Then you get a dynamic cocktail that the winners of their campaign were able to experience at the end of May, for no less than ten days. TravMagazine had the pleasure of coming along and reporting on the trip to Iceland, Chicago and Michigan in the United States.  
During Icelandair and Brand USA&#8217;s campaign, which ran from June to November 2023, travel professionals were able to win a study trip spot by completing the Icelandair course on TravEcademy and five training sessions per month in the Brand USA Discovery Program. They fought diligently and worked until the late hours to get on board Icelandair last May 29. No less than six Dutch and six Belgian travel agents eventually took the win and were allowed to enjoy the program for ten days in Iceland, Chicago (Illinois), St. Petersburg. Joseph, Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan.
Admire this unique combination trip with Icelandair and Brand USA through the (many) photos on our Facebook page and read more about it in upcoming TravMagazine (edition 27) of July 5, 2024.

Environmental organization Reclame Fossielvrij has filed a complaint with the Advertising Code Committee about a TV advertisement by TUI for air holidays to Turkey. According to the activists, the advertisement would encourage harmful behavior because air travel causes a lot of damage to the climate and health. The action group claims that it is the first time that the Advertising Code Committee (RCC) will deal with such a complaint. Reclame Fossielvrij argues that TUI&#8217;s advertising violates a rule of the Advertising Code Foundation, which states that advertising may not encourage behavior that is harmful to health or safety or is highly harmful to the environment. According to Reclame Fossielvrij, the commercial could be seen for the eight o&#8217;clock news, among other things. &#8216;Every day, we see the far-reaching consequences of climate disruption in the news: deadly heat waves, floods, forest fires, crop failures. But before and after that same newscast, we are seduced by advertisements for air travel that get us into even deeper trouble,&#8221; says activist Rémi ter Haar of Reclame Fossielvrij in a statement. The RCC will consider the indictment on Thursday. When asked, TUI says it is aware of the complaint against the commercial and is preparing to handle it. The travel organization says it will await the committee&#8217;s assessment and will not make any further substantive announcements until then. The verdict is expected in a few weeks.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has tightened the travel advice for France from green, the lowest level, to yellow. On March 22 this year, the French government raised the threat assessment. This happened in response to the terrorist attack by IS in a concert hall in Moscow. The threat of terrorism is assessed as &#8216;likely&#8217;. The alert level in France has been raised from 2 to 3. According to the French government, the increased risks mainly apply to larger cities. With alert phase 3, the French government is deploying more security measures to protect citizens. &#8220;You can travel to France, but be extra alert throughout France,&#8221; the ministry said.

This week, the U.S. state of Louisiana presented its wide range of tourism to both the travel industry and Dutch consumers. A delegation from the southern state visited Amsterdam and treated visitors to Amsterdam Central Station to a musical welcome and a small bottle of Tabasco to warm them up to this state. The trade was also informed during a workshop. The state is distinguished above all by a unique offer. Of course there is the world-famous New Orleans, but there is much more to do as it turned out. Smaller cities such as Baton Rouge and Lafayette offer plenty of fun, nature including swamp landscapes offers many outdoor activities and just like other southern states, music and good food are of paramount importance. Soon a report in TravMagazine. In the photo the delegation with Hanny Fluit on the left and Rianne van der Linden of Target Travel on her right.

Thailand aims for 20 percent more tourists from the Netherlands this year. This was stated by Soraya Homchuen (Director France &amp; Benelux) and Chirawadee Khunsub (Executive Director Europe Region) of the Thai Tourist Office (TAT Paris) this week in Amsterdam to TravMagazine. During a well-attended roadshow, Thailand presented itself to the Dutch travel industry. A large delegation of 30 local partners, including many hotels and DMCs from the &#8216;land of smiles&#8217;, entered into a conversation with Dutch travel professionals. According to the Thai Tourist Board, the Netherlands and the Dutch travel industry are of great importance for tourism in Thailand. &#8216;Last year we welcomed 230,000 tourists from the Netherlands. The target for this year is 280,000. That&#8217;s an increase of about 20 percent.&#8217; &#8216;Post-covid in 2022-2023, there was a postponed demand. With a good focus, we see our European market getting going again. The ticket price is not a problem, but the seat capacity is. The demand is still there. We are focusing on partnering with airlines, both charter and scheduled flights, to increase the number of flights to Thailand and the region. This year, for example, TG will resume more flights from Oslo and Milan starting in the summer. Condor will fly directly from Frankfurt to Bangkok and Phuket at the end of September. British Airways will fly to Bangkok again at the end of October this year. From our point of view, airfares will be better.&#8221;  We are seeing massive inflation in the world. What is the effect on the price level in Thailand?  &#8220;Inflation and sluggish economic growth will undoubtedly have an impact on many destinations in Europe. However, we remain optimistic about Thailand. This is because Thailand offers a wide variety of tourism products that offer tourists better value for money. In this way, we exceed expectations. Despite inflation, a luxury holiday in Thailand is still within reach for everyone.&#8217; What trends should travel professionals be aware of? 
&#8220;At the moment, the &#8216;White Lotus&#8217; trend is very popular, aimed at travelers who plan their vacation around locations from popular movies and shows. The filming of the long-awaited third season took place in Thailand. That will certainly appeal to the imagination of visitors and be a reason to explore these iconic locations.&#8217; &#8216;We encourage people who don&#8217;t know Thailand yet to try it at least once. You are very likely to become a repeater, attracted by our culture, the food and the warmth of the Thai people. In Thailand, it&#8217;s easy to access luxury holidays in a sustainable way.&#8217;   How does the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) promote sustainability among local partners/entrepreneurs?  &#8216;When awarding the Thailand Tourism Awards in 2023, we introduced two new categories in the context of sustainability. With this, we want to emphasize the importance of high-quality and sustainable tourism. The aim is to work with partners in the tourism sector to minimise the impact on the environment. Thailand, which relies heavily on tourism, has seen the entire industry become more aware of these issues. Over the past two years, we have been working with local authorities such as the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) and the Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA) to promote low-carbon tourism and implement climate measures for sustainability. At the ITB in Berlin, Thailand launched 100 new ways for CO2-free tourism.

France has presented itself to the Dutch travel industry today. Almost two dozen partners have come from the holiday country to present themselves at a workshop in Amsterdam. The year 2024 will be a special one for France with the hosting of the Olympic Games. The year 2023 was a bumper year, according to director Fabienne Javault of Atout France. &#8216;Without further ado. Spending has also gone up.&#8217; Of course, the Games will have an impact. &#8216;But that&#8217;s Paris, the rest of the country is going the old-fashioned way and is counting on a lot of visitors, also from the Netherlands.&#8217; Other special themes this year in France are events around 150 years of impressionism, 80 years of D-day and the reopening of Notre Dame on 8 December.

Compared to previous years, more Dutch people want to go on holiday next summer. Foreign holidays are particularly popular. Spain is the most popular, followed by France and Italy. This is evident from large-scale consumer research conducted by Trends &amp; Tourism at the end of January/beginning of February into holiday plans of a week or more for next summer. More than three-quarters of the Dutch (77%) say they definitely/probably want to go on holiday next summer. About 10% are still undecided and 13% do not expect to go. In previous years, the share of Dutch people planning a summer holiday was 75% and 68% respectively. Higher educated people and young people in particular want to go out next summer. More than 70% of the Dutch with plans for next summer want to go abroad, 23% choose their own country and 6% have not yet made a choice between their own country and abroad. Spain (17%), France (12%) and Italy (10%) are the most popular foreign destinations this summer. A sun/sea/beach holiday is the most popular (43%), followed by a round trip (17%). The study also mapped out the extent to which intended holidays have already been booked. &#8216;Of all planned holidays abroad, 40% have already been booked&#8217;, says research director Kees van der Most to TravMagazine. &#8216;This is more than this time last year, which indicates increasing consumer confidence. Although there are big differences according to destination, booking method and holiday type. For example, about 70% of the proposed plans for Portugal still have to be booked, while for Turkey this is less than half.&#8217; Trends &amp; Tourism also investigated whether the increased likelihood of extreme weather as a result of climate change would influence the choice of destination. That hardly appears to be the case. Most Dutch people do not take into account the chance of extreme weather when choosing their holiday destination. One in five say they take this into account to some extent and 6% quite a lot. For the time being, the chance of extreme weather does not lead to significantly different destination choices, says the research agency.  Photo: Kees van der Most (Archive photo TravMagazine).
