Europe is looking to rail to cut travel emissions, yet airlines still enjoy the tax breaks that help keep flights cheap. Rail, by contrast, is taxed and charged to use tracks, despite being the greener option. For the industry, that imbalance means airlines may keep winning on price until policymakers put climate goals above cheap tickets.

Radisson is betting that verified net zero hotels will win over travelers and boost market share. The challenge now is scaling the model beyond Europe, where financing and renewable energy access get a lot trickier.

Carbon capture might be the most practical near-term route to decarbonising cruise ships, but it barely seems to be on the industry’s radar. Without collaboration and port infrastructure to offload CO₂, it risks staying a promising idea that never leaves the dock.

Questions remain about how the indirect emissions from Airbnb’s expansion into new experiences will be addressed.
