If you're concerned about your company's carbon footprint, this could be just the app for you, especially if business takes you to Ireland. Tourism Ireland wants to help promote Ireland as a sustainable destination and have launched their Conference CO2 calculator iPhone app.
The free app for the iPhone will enable organisers to check the carbon emissions associated with international delegate travel and offers tips on hosting greener meetings.
Users can compare the CO2 emissions associated with air travel to three international destinations at a time, and evaluate their chosen event or meeting destination with travel to Dublin. Users are also able to view special offers directly from venues and hotels in Dublin, with the section expanding soon to other Irish locations.
The launch of the app coincides with the opening of the Convention Centre Dublin, the world's first carbon neutral international convention centre.
David Boyce, deputy director Great Britain at Tourism Ireland said: "One of the main reasons delegates choose to come to Ireland is its green credentials. This app helps organisers assess their conference or event on its CO2 emissions. The iPhone app, coupled with the opening of the CCD further underlines the destination's commitment to green and we hope this encourages more people to choose Ireland for their event".
