Over recent decades, air quality has improved significantly. However, there is increasing evidence to suggest that air quality can adversely affect health, the natural environment, and economic performance. For example the Department of Health has identified air pollution as one of the biggest health risks across the UK. The most immediate action required on air quality is tackling the problem of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations around roads - the only statutory air quality limit value that the UK is currently failing to meet. There are a range of challenges associated with tackling NO2, including: Firstly, the uncertainty that is inherent to assessments of this kind. Some of this relates to the need to model changes into the future, such as uncertainty about how future vehicle standards will perform. Previous standards to control emissions from cars have not performed as expected, which has led to revised emission projections revealing more areas with high NO2 than previously modelled. Secondly, any plan to improve air quality is part of a wider landscape. Air pollution is an unintended consequence of many everyday activities, including driving and manufacturing. These

  • SUBMISSION of MARTIN EVANS to the PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE of the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background
    SUBMISSION OF MARTIN EVANS TO THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background Martin Evans is a Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. In 2008, working with the Wales Transport Research Centre at the University and Halcrow, he undertook the first year monitoring report of the Cardiff/Anglesey air service on behalf of the Welsh Government. No further monitoring reports have been published by the Welsh Government. Introduction The possibility of Welsh internal air services was proposed in „The Future of Air Transport - Wales‟ White Paper published by the UK Department for Transport in 2003. A feasibility study was undertaken by The Welsh Government and published in the form of a consultation in 2004. The consultation document examined the feasibility of a number of different networks for Welsh internal air services and the level of investment required for the necessary infrastructure. There are no internal air routes in Wales that would be viable if operated on a commercial basis. The Welsh Government acquired the powers to fund internal air services under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) in the Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The conditions to be followed in funding a PSO route are set out in Article 16 of the Air Services Regulations 1008/2008 of the European Union. “3. The necessity and the adequacy of an envisaged public service obligation shall be assessed by the Member State(s) having regard to: a) the proportionality between the envisaged obligation and the economic needs of the region concerned; b) the possibility of having recourse to other modes of transport and the ability of such modes to meet the transport needs under consideration, in particular when existing rail services serve the envisaged route with a travel time of less than three hours and with sufficient frequencies, connections and suitable timings; c) the air fares and conditions which can be quoted to users; d) the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route.

    GROWING INTERNATIONAL SALES Global Segmentation Toolkit Using segmentation to win international sales CONTENTS − Introduction − Culturally Curious − Social Energisers − Great Escapers − Understanding experiential tourism − The experience wheel − The 5 stage digital consumer journey − Direct and indirect sales channels − Overview − Air and ferry routes − Snapshot of the market − 5 steps to developing your sales plan − Overseas sales action plan template − Fáilte Ireland − Tourism Ireland INTRODUCTION In 2013 Irish tourism saw a significant and well deserved growth in overseas visitor numbers with many markets now back or close to peak performance levels. Overall growth of 7.2% in 2013 was reflected in an increase from Great Britain (GB) of +5.6%, the United States (US) +14.5%, Germany + 7.7% and France + 9.4%. For the first nine months of 2013, corresponding overseas revenue grew by +13% and holidaymakers by +13%. With growth of +11% between December 2013 and February 2014, the positive start to 2014 is reflected in all the main source markets; visitors from North America (US & Canada) have increased by +17%; GB +14%; Germany +16% and France + 5%. Tourism Ireland’s target for 2014 is 8.2m overseas visitors, an increase of 1 million over 2013. While the trading environment in most source markets remains challenging there are positive indicators. To secure this growth Ireland must win additional market share in the main markets and in a determined effort to do this, the tourism agencies on the island of Ireland are jointly implementing a new, evidence-based consumer global segmentation model. This model provides new, unique insights about the key consumer segments; their motivations, the kinds of experiences they will buy, associated market differentiators and the key channel intermediaries they use.
