Network focus
A European partnership connecting train operators, destinations and public authorities to strengthen international train tourism to, from and via Copenhagen through collaboration, knowledge-sharing, visibility and a fact-based dialogue.
What we focus on
• Knowledge and insights
Joint analyses of markets, travel patterns, barriers, and potentials for international train tourism.
• Coordination and joint solutions
Collaboration across destinations, transport companies, and tourism actors to improve coherence in offerings, information, and customer experience.
• Development and projects
Testing and developing concrete initiatives e.g. new services, communication, or products aimed at international train travellers.
• Positioning trains as a form of tourism travel
A shared and strengthened narrative, especially towards the media and political decision-makers, about trains as a comfortable, efficient, and sustainable travel experience, with arrival directly in the city centre.
HOW WE WORK
The focus areas can range from local to European initiatives, and cover activities including:
- Strategic collaboration, coordination and promotion of train tourism.
- Identification of barriers and opportunities and how to get concrete results via relevant strategies and continuous research.
- Increased visibility on congresses, conferences, social media and press, including marketing (FAM trips).
- Be a strong and united influencer in the public (political) debate.
- Ensuring a fact-based debate with use of strong data.
- Network via bi-yearly regional meetings, newsletters, and exchange of best practise.
