Heathrow expansion: overdue or damaging?
Story: Heathrow Hub begins legal challenge to third runway Time for the travel trade to unite and endorse its agreement for the third runway, which is well overdue. It will generate more than 60,000 jobs. PETER
A third runway is of little or no benefit to anything north of the Midlands. An expanded Heathrow will lead to airlines pulling existing long-haul routes out of other airports such as Manchester and Glasgow. Just look at how Birmingham airport struggles due to it’s proximity to Heathrow. Heathrow? Just say no!

Story: Corfu rubbish problem ‘resolved’ (July 2) The problem is far from ‘resolved’ [four weeks on from the above report]. There are rubbish dumps on the edge of every town or village. The worst we saw during our visit
QUOTE OF THE
WEEK
[last week] was by the football pitch outside Kassiopi. I love Corfu and have been visiting almost yearly for the past 30 years. But this problem is massive. I overheard an American child ask her daddy ‘Why have you brought us to a third world country?’ I love Corfu but I am very concerned for it. Tourists have a choice where they go. This rubbish problem concerns me a lot.

David Winterton @wintertonsworld (Emerald W’ways) Customers of @manairport are the unhappiest in the country. What’s gone wrong at MAN?
Brian Young @brianryoung (G Adventures) Heart going out to the people of Greece and Athens due to the tragic wildfires. Spent a lot of my career there. Some of the strongest bonds I have are with friends from Greece.
Cathie O’Dea @CathieodeaTC (Travel Counsellors) Sometimes it’s just not about making money, but helping a client get home from a delayed flight

Tourism poses threat to polar bears
Story: Hapag-Lloyd defends decision to shoot polar bear Today there is one less polar bear on Earth, as mankind’s actions continue to destroy their habitat. In 40 years there will be none left as the drifting ice packs, warmed by climate change, lead to bears drowning. As an industry we really need to consider just how much we are prepared to pay for that special interaction with our fellow inhabitants. Polar bears are dangerous, and we probably make them more so. Yet, meanwhile, we want to sell more soft-adventure holidays. Something has to give. Soon there will be no polar bears to visit except in zoos – and we are already questioning the sense of that.
