#EU #Dialogue in Brussels - lots of information, lots of questions 🇪🇺 Six weeks before the European elections, the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region invited #eventprofs to join the “EU Dialogue driving positive change in the Meetings Industry”. The official event as part of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union is organized by visitbrussels in cooperation with JMIC Joint Meetings Industry Council, City Destinations Alliance | CityDNA and EEIA, European Exhibition Industry Alliance. It aims to open a dialogue with the European authorities on the importance of the Meetings Industry for EU’s competitiveness and its sustainable transformation to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. For this purpose, the program includes panels on the EU Tourism Pathway among others leading to a lot of discussions and questions: + How does the Meetings Industry manage to maintain constant contact with Brussels? + Where in the European Commission, in which directorate general/which unit should the Meetings Industry be anchored? + And … What is the Meetings Industry anyway? 🙂🙃🙂 Thank you for restarting this crucial conversation, dear Elisabeth Van Ingelgem, CMP, Marta Gomes, Flavie de Bueil, Petra Stušek and Barbara Weizsäcker, Roland Bleinroth, Kai Hattendorf.

🔥 In the Hospitality and Tourism (HTR) sector, Crisis Communication requires a strategic, future-focused, and probabilistic mindset. Here are five (5) examples and solutions: 1. Cybersecurity Breach: - Solution: Implement AI-driven cybersecurity measures. Regularly update stakeholders on protective steps and recovery plans to maintain trust. 2. Pandemic Resurgence: - Solution: Develop comprehensive health protocols and virtual tour options using AR. Communicate these measures transparently to reassure guests. 3. Environmental Disaster: - Solution: Adopt sustainable practices and use AI for disaster prediction. Provide real-time updates and involve the community in recovery efforts. 4. Political Instability: - Solution: Offer flexible booking options and ensure robust travel insurance policies. Maintain a constant communication channel to keep guests informed. 5. Supply Chain Disruption: - Solution: Diversify suppliers and use predictive analytics for inventory management. Communicate any potential impacts to service transparently and offer alternatives. #HospitalityIndustry #TourismManagement #CrisisCommunication #HospitalityLeaders #HotelManagement #TravelIndustry #HTRStrategy #SustainableTourism #HospitalityInnovation #FutureOfTourism #AIinHospitality #TourismTech #StrategicLeadership #HotelMarketing #TravelSafety

Very important publication on what’s at stake in France right now (see below). If our extreme right party RN wins power, this also means : - potential retreat from the Council of Europe, - potential retreat from the EU Court of Human Rights, - potential retreat from the EU… Etc Etc… The RN has always been and is an extreme right, xenophobic and anti-foreigners party, unable to keep international conventions especially in terms of human rights, scientifically speaking (this is not my personal opinion!), based on its programme and announcements, and this independently of how Marine Le Pen “modernized” the party. Let’s pray that this doesn’t happen, especially now that the world needs a strong NATO alliance and EU’s capacity to act.

[Islands Call results] 🏄‍♂️ Excited to share highlights from the "Zero Plastic on the îles d’Or Archipelago and Replication in the Mediterranean" project, supported by BeMed in 2020. This project from SMILO - Small Islands Organisation aims to make the Iles d'Or a pilot region for plastic waste management in the South Region of France and across the #Mediterranean.   👉 Key achievements: - Established a micro-production line for Provence cane objects, replacing single-use plastic items like cutlery, ice cream spoons, and straws, promoting local material reuse. - Developed a bio-based resin from date palm residues on Kerkennah for creating biodegradable cup prototypes, addressing agricultural waste issues and opening new opportunities for local stakeholders.   🏋‍♀️ Challenges encountered: - Scaling up production on the Iles d’Or requires investment in specialized machinery, which local producers are hesitant to make. - Creating an economically viable production line for bio-based alternatives in Tunisia is challenging due to higher costs compared to plastic items.   🎙 Visibility and impact: - Produced videos and podcast episodes to highlight project activities and raise awareness, reaching both French and English-speaking audiences. - Organized events and international meetings to promote #zerowaste solutions and share experiences.   We are proud of the progress made by the supported projects in 2020 and look forward to support new ones in 2024 ! 🌍 #BeMed #Sustainability #PlasticFreeFuture #OpenCall

Écris-moi or translate for me! A tale of rain 🌧 and cats 😺 and dogs 🐶!  #rédacteur #indépendant #translate #localisation I work with communications and marketing agencies in London and New York. They give me assignments throughout the month. I translate texts from English into French. For example, I translate. For these and other brands, I do translations and, more specifically, localisation, which, in translation, involves adapting the translated text to the geographical area for which it is intended. The French language has a number of specific features, such as the use of the polite form of address and oral and written expressions, which need to be adapted to the consumer's expectations. Added to this is the need to master grammar, spelling, etc. So if in France "il pleut des cordes" (a metaphor that simply refers to the way the rain falls when it rains a lot: a rode) in English "it's raining cats and dogs". 😁 🐈

*Climate: the El Niño phenomenon is officially over, La Niña takes over* Scientific records confirm that El Niño is over. For the past year, this natural meteorological phenomenon which causes global warming of temperatures has influenced global weather with serious consequences on all continents. But the period of calm looks set to be short before the arrival of La Niña, probably this summer. This phenomenon can cause cooler temperatures, but also natural disasters, including drought. It is nicknamed “ the enfant terrible of the Pacific ”, because it begins with a localized warming of the temperature of the South Pacific Ocean. The El Niño phenomenon , which causes a complete change in winds and sea currents on a global scale, has just ended, according to records from the American Meteorological Agency. El Niño is finally releasing its grip on global weather. This after contributing to months of marine heatwaves, heat stress and massive coral bleaching, drought and heatwaves, particularly in West Africa and Southeast Asia. Or even the floods in East Africa . *The arrival of La Niña* But according to the US Meteorological Agency, the respite will be short-lived. Because after El Niño, comes its counterpart, La Niña, probably this summer. Forecasters estimate there is a 65% chance of La Niña arriving by July-September and an 85% chance by December. Unlike El Niño, La Niña is characterized this time by cooler temperatures on a global scale, but “ the effect of El Niño will last for a few more months and will not erase global warming ” due to human activities, tempers climatologist Aïda Diongue-Niang, vice-president of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “ The 2022 La Niña episode did not prevent the year from being classified as the fifth hottest year on record ,” she says, also a technical advisor to the National Weather Agency. civil aviation and meteorology (Anacim) of Senegal. Temperatures will therefore not drop. Drought predicted in East Africa This El Niño-La Niña cycle is not always so close together and does not necessarily foreshadow an intense Niña. That said, La Niña will have consequences: heavy rains in Indonesia and the rest of Southeast Asia, heavy rains also in West Africa. On the contrary, a drought in the Horn of Africa is to be feared, as well as a more intense cyclone season. The year 2005, when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in the United States, was a La Niña year . Another example, “ the pronounced drought in East Africa during the La Niña episode which lasted between 1998 and 2021 ,” recalls Aïda Diongue-Niang. .... .... https://lnkd.in/ej-2ygaj
