Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, has launched a new initiative called CopenPay in an effort to promote sustainable tourism. Tourists who choose to travel by public transport or bike without using cars or taxis will be rewarded with perks such as free coffee, museum admissions, and an extra 20 minutes' ski time on the slope of a heating plant. “What we know is that there's a big gap between the tourists’ intention before [and after] they arrive and consume. We know that four out of five of us intend to act sustainably, but only one out of five of us actually does,” Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wond...

“In the summertime, when the weather is high / You can stretch right up and touch the sky / Then head to the cinema for some well-deserved escapism.” That’s probably what Mungo Jerry meant to say.

However, that doesn’t mean there’s not enough out this summer to ke...

Some may be faced with no other choice than to cancel some flights or offer a reduced service on some routes. Back in January this year, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft saw a mid-cabin exit door panel blow out in mid-air, just a few minutes after take-off. This incident sparked a flurry of inves...
