Iceland Volcano Opportunities
Many businesses and entrepreneurs got affected badly in this current natural disaster the ” Iceland Volcano”. Airplanes around the world lost enormous money due to not flying . Business deals, imports and exports were halted. Countries were governed remotely. The Norwegian prime minster ran his government while he was in USA using his iPad. The flip side of that scenario is others started to make a fortune out of the current incidence. For example, ferries are in a big demand, and I’m sure many other enterprises benefited as well. SO what I’m saying here, is problems create opportunities for the prepared minded.
Lonely Planet – the tourism guides company, offered and still offering travelers who use iPhone, to download 13 European guides from Apple store for free. Those guides-apps were not free before the Iceland eruption. The offer is valid until tomorrow- Thursday April 22nd. I find this a great way to help travelers who got stuck in Europe (because it is the most affected continent from Iceland volcano) to manage or even survive. It is also an oblique way to increase Lonely Planet’s reputation and maybe its profits in the future.
To get those guides, go to Apple store through your iPhone or your computer’s iTunes and type Lonely Planet. You should get the following countries:
- Amsterdam
- Barcelona
- Berlin
- Budapest
- Copenhagen
- Istanbul
- London
- Moscow
- Munich
- Paris
- Rome
- Stockholm
- Vienna
Governments also played a big role. For example, The Kuwaiti government did not hesitate to help its stuck citizens in Europe to pay for their accommodation until they get back to Kuwait. I’m sure other government did the same as well. The Crisis teaches us something and we must learn from it. Opportunities always present themselves in the time of problems, and those who are prepared mentally shall see them.
