π Keynote lecture at "Vakantiebeurs": Choo-Choo!
Yesterday marked a special stage for Choo-Choo - almost in a literal sense.
Our co-founder Raphael Hunsucker πͺπΊπΊπ¦ π
delivered the lecture at the Ambassadors Breakfast during the official opening of the , the major Travel Fair in the Netherlands.
After the Dutch minister of foreign affairs, Caspar Veldkamp, the mayor or Utrecht, Sharon Dijksma, and the CEO of Koninklijke Jaarbeurs, Jeroen van Hooff, Raphael spoke on behalf of Choo-Choo to the more than 100 foreign ambassadors gathered. The presentation about the "Revolution on Rails" highlighted some of the major developments in sustainable travel:
πΉthe growing popularity and advantages of travelling by train π
πΉ the steady expansion of the European high-speed rail network π€οΈ
πΉthe incredible new night train connections and rolling stock πππ
πΉour own revolutionary booking platform and 24/7 support pledge π»βοΈ
Also, the talk addressed the increasing number of people pledging _not_ to fly in 2025. Actually, Raphael started by drawing attention to Dutch football player Dennis , the original "non-flying Dutchman" in the 1990's and 2000's π.
Bergkamp refused to fly, but was a living legend on the pitch, scoring incredible goals. If your goal in 2025 is to fly less (or not at all), hop on the international train for your next holiday or business trip in Europe!
