German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing / art fair
German term or phrase: Anreisemöglichkeiten
The German term is so compact and precise. Any suggestions?

Zürich zieht das Fachpublikum aus ganz Europa an. Dabei überzeugen die idealen Anreisemöglichkeiten mit Bahn, Auto und Flugzeug, sowie die Infrastruktur der Stadt. Einen Top-Ausstellungsort bietet Ihnen auch das Kongresshaus Zürich. Die marktkonforme Infrastruktur, das angenehme Ambiente, die optimale Verkehrsanbindung an das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz lassen Sie komfortable Messetage erleben. Die ART INTERNATIONAL ist eine erstklassige Messe mit First-Class-Service.

easy access / easily accessible
Explanation:
Maybe you could rephrase a bit to get away from the nominal construction that German loves so much and say something like "easy access by plane, train, and automobile" or "...is easily accessible no matter which mode of transportation you choose..." (I'm getting carried away here, but you get the drift).

Explanation:
As in "air, rail and motorway connections"?

Or replace \"motorway\" with \"road\":

\"Companies expect first rate meeting and hotel facilities as well as air, rail and road connections - and Geneva\'s are geared for international business. \"

agree  Robert Kleemaier: 'travel options' is good, but prefer this one; the meaning and style should weigh as heavily as the meaning itself.

agree  Sara Hagelstam: Often used, and easy to understand, "good connections" is not to be misinterpreted, I'd say.
