More than £60BN at stake, should invest now or pay the price The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has issued a stark warning to the UK Government: the UK’s successful Travel & Tourism industry faces stagnation and long-term decline. On the eve of the UK Government’s first Visitor Economy Advisory Council, the global tourism body revealed data that shows £60BN is at risk over the next 10 years, in lost tourism business. While forecasts indicate short-term stability, the long-term outlook is weak as the UK loses ground to European competitors. The UK’s Travel & Tourism sector directly employs almost the same number of people as the NHS. It contributed £280BN to the UK economy in 2024 (10.3%) and supported over 4.1MN jobs (11.3%). It also contributes £100...

A relic of train link between Europe and Arabian peninsula

Qadam train station was once the pride of Syria’s capital, for some a symbol of post-war revival A train station in Damascus was once the pride of the Syrian capital, an essential link between Europe and the Arabian Peninsula during the Ottoman Empire and then a national transit hub. But more than a decade of war left it a wasteland of bullet-scarred walls and twisted steel. The Qadam station’s remaining staff say they still have an attachment to the railway and hope that it, like the country, can be revived after the swift and stunning downfall of leader Bashar Assad last month. On a recent day, train operator Mazen Malla led us through the landscape of charred train cars and workshops damaged by artillery fire. Bullet casings littered the ground. Malla grew up near the s...

I have lived in Lagos, a seaside megacity of over 20 million people, since early 2022. Before moving to the Nigerian capital, I was a correspondent for Reuters in my native Harare, Zimbabwe. When I first arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport here, I was almost knocked off my feet by the heat and humidity. But I've since grown to love this busy financial, artistic and cultural capital. As the Reuters Nigeria bureau chief, I oversee a team of people responsible for covering everything from the humanitarian impact of a long-running Islamist insurgency to the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu to the completion of Africa's largest petrochemical plant, the Dangote Refinery. When visitors ask me about Lagos, here's what I tell them: Getting around: The "Danfo...

Hundreds of dead sea turtles are washing ashore on Chennai coast

Over 400 endangered sea turtles have washed ashore on India’s east coast near the city of Chennai in the last two weeks in an event not witnessed in over two decades. Olive ridley turtles travel thousands of miles for ideal nesting conditions on India’s coast. But the species has been threatened for years as the number of nesting beaches around the world shrinks, and mass deaths like these can be caused by fishing nets that can catch and harm the species. In a typical year, the city’s coastline can expect between 100 to 200 adult turtle deaths, said Shravan Krishnan, a volunteer with Chennai-based Students Sea Turtles Conservation Network. “This year, we’ve already crossed 200 dead turtles in a little more than two weeks,” he said. Krishnan is also concerned about the low num...
