French global airport operator Groupe ADP has invested $20 million in US-based LanzaJet, an emerging international producer of sustainable aviation fuel, reports Tony Harrington for GreenAir News. The investment was made by ADP International, a subsidiary of the group, as part of a strategy to transform its airports into energy hubs able to provide electricity, SAF and low-carbon hydrogen. The investment follows LanzaJet’s recent activation of the Freedom Pines facility in Soperton, Georgia, the world’s first ethanol-to-fuel plant, capable of both SAF and renewable diesel production. Groupe ADP is the third company to invest in LanzaJet this year, after the Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund and the world’s biggest low-cost airline, Texas-based Southwest Airlines. LanzaJet has global expansion ambitions, with plans to develop plants elsewhere in America, as well as in Europe and Asia. It is also a partner in a new SAF project planned for Queensland, Australia. #sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #sustainableairports Mark Pilling Jimmy Samartzis Stephane Thion Augustin de Romanet Justine Leger Jérôme Landras Meg Whitty Mohamed El Akroute Brandon Middaugh Alex Menotti Jennifer Holmgren Richard Marsh https://lnkd.in/esnh_5GU

ITB China's Travel Trends survey reveals a robust recovery in China’s outbound travel market, driven by the adventurous younger generations. But where are tourists heading? "Going into 2025, ITB China expects more outbound travel to Europe, with Chinese travelers heading to popular destinations like France, Spain, and Greece along with less-traveled spots such as Serbia and Montenegro." Jing Daily > New horizons The report highlights that younger generations, particularly the post-1990s and post-2000s cohorts, are driving the recovery of China’s outbound tourism market. Their increased financial independence and adventurous spirit are fueling a continuous surge in outbound travel demand. According to the China Tourism Academy, younger and more educated travelers make up a significant portion of outbound tourists from China. Tourists aged 22 to 41 dominate this group, accounting for nearly 83% of the market. This trend is further supported by data from Trip.com Group, which shows that the combined proportion of post-1990s and post-2000s travelers has surpassed that of the post-1980s generation, establishing them as the leading force in the outbound travel market.

💻 In recent years, we've seen a significant shift in the way travelers and tour operators view accommodation ratings. Today, for example, the #sustainability score has become a crucial element in purchasing decisions, not only for individuals, but also for tour operators, travel agents and DMCs. In fact, the growing sensitivity of customers to sustainability issues makes it crucial for accommodations to demonstrate their commitment in this area, thus consolidating their reputation and offering guarantees of transparency. 🌱 For this reason, in Netstorming • Travel technology company we're working on optimizing the information related to this fundamental aspect, so that it’s updated in real time and easily accessible, just like the star ratings. In this way, we aren't only facilitating more informed choices for travelers, but also helping to promote responsible tourism that respects the environment and local communities. #Netstorming #Travel #TravelTechnology #Tourism

Interesting insights from Deloitte this month on #AI and some learning for the #travel and #hospitality industries. Some highlights: 👉🏼 AI will change what product or service is sold and to who – companies will be able to better connect with real-time customer demand signals. 👉🏼 AI will require a greater need for partnership – responsibly deploying and developing AI, without stifling innovation, requires new closeness between public and private sectors. Last week, Amadeus also released its report on #GenerativeAI and its impact on the travel sector. Our headline findings: it is a top priority, but challenges persist around talent, ROI and security.
