Airlines are dropping their prices. Is it a positive or a negative development? Support your stand with examples.

It is said that the

air

fares are falling. I believe

this

is a positive advance because it allows people to

travel

overseas for business or for leisure purposes and it is good for small economies.

Firstly

, low-

cost

air

travels allows people to fly more often.

For example

, I visited my sister in Ireland 4 times in the past three years, which would be unthinkable in the past because the flight prices were high for my financial possibilities. With low

air

fares it would be easier for people to

travel

to exotic places abroad.

For instance

, people are travelling more often to places like Dubai or Bali. It

also

benefits business people or foreign who need to

travel

frequently.

Secondly

, it would help increase local economies. When we

travel

to some places, we purchase goods at the local shops which helps local businesses to grow, plus we need to pay for the hotel and with more tourism affluence there is a higher possibility of hotel taxes to drop. So, if the number of tourists increases,

then

the local stores benefits greatly. It

also

would decrease the

cost

of goods imported.

For example

, Indian products are much more expensive in Portugal than they are in India because the transportation

cost

is

also

added to the price.

Therefore

, with low

cost

air

travelling the price of importation would drop, which would enable the product prices to fall. To conclude, low

cost

air

travel

helps increase local economies, it facilitates

travel

for business people, and it entices people to

travel

to paradise destinations.

Thus

, lower flying prices are without a doubt a positive development.
