Holiday firm TUI has announced it is going to offer customers train tickets instead of short-haul flights to discourage excessive plane travel.
The firm has launched the scheme in the Netherlands and, if successful, could move across the UK. So far, six routes have been chosen for the rail journeys instead of plane travel for TUI customers in the Netherlands. All the destinations covered during the launch of the initiative are city breaks, with travellers to Copenhagen, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Milan and Florence, all now being offered rail journeys as part of a collaboration between TUI and train travel start-up Green City Trip, reports The Mirror.
“Traveling more sustainably means offering your customers different transport options And trains are definitely part of that”, Arjan Kers, managing director of TUI Netherlands, said.
