Re: April 28, 2016: Main Square, Krakow, Poland
The Salt Mines are one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It would be a shame to miss seeing them. When you are in town you will see this building. It's the Rail Station. The salt mines are just a few stops along the line. 10 minutes. So easy to find. So worth it.

Re: Berlin's airport fiasco: Another €2.2 billion and 2 more years
As Garry points out, it's an issue of state aid and competition. In the case of the airport, the company at the end of the chain, FBB (Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg), is structured as a private enterprise, although the Berlin and Brandenburg state governments (37% each) and the Federal government (26% each) are the investors. So, it is subject to the rules for government loans to private companies. In this case, the Commission ruled (click here for the ruling) that the activities and the loan...

Re: Traveling in France? Strikes forecast
Whenever France has a "day of action" they block the ports and air traffic controllers block the air space over their country. This effectively puts a blockade on all traffic to Europe and beyond from the UK. Trucks are set ablaze. Miles of traffic bound for the UK is trapped. Families held to ransom in the ice cold winter. Stuck on freeways. Britons held in faraway airports because their flights coming home cut across French airspace. And the Riot Police stand by and watch as the Mob Rules.

Re: Montreal: Top international meeting city
I think cost and marketing certainly play a role. For some organizations, a 'neutral' place likely gets points (avoiding rivalries) but I think that transportation, facilities and attractiveness play a big role. Vancouver and Montreal both have extensive tourism attraction, great in- and out-bound transportation, and lots of venues of different sizes. For a meeting planner, smaller cities sometimes have an attraction because attendees sometimes want a 'comfortable' environment. Las Vegas and...
