The cost of flying has decreased significantly over the last decade. This has made overseas travel more accessible. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this trend .

Nowadays, the fastest means of transport which is popular world-wide is air travel. With many of the airlines that are providing inexpensive flight tickets, it opens an opportunity for people to travel more frequently across the globe. I believe

this

phenomenon has several benefits as it encourages tourism and

also

gives an exposure of the new culture of the destination country.

However

,

this

has few drawbacks too,

such

as risk of spreading viruses and causes air pollution. To commence with the advantages of increase in overseas travelling, the predominant one is that it helps the target country’s economy as many people are visiting the tourist places, they invest in hotels, accommodation, food outlets which in turn not only boosts the nation’s wealth but

also

uplifts the tourism.

For instance

, a recent report published by the UK government that the number of tourists came in 2019 was certainly double in actual figures as compared to visitors in the year 2018.

Consequently

, the economic turnover was relatively high in 2019.

Moreover

, it has become affordable for people to travel in different parts of the globe so they have better chances to learn about the customs of the diverse cultures of the countries which helps them to widen their horizons.

Nevertheless

, there are some disadvantages of

this

trend because as often as people are travelling around, there is a possibility of proliferation of contagious viruses from one country to another.

For example

, an infectious disease called Coronavirus originated from China and now has been transmitted globally from person to person through overseas travelling for which the whole world is still fighting against

this

deadly virus. Apart from

this

, it is an undeniable fact that aircrafts consume huge amount of petroleum and it emits dangerous and harmful gases which eventually causes air contamination. If flights are moving excessively,

then

it deteriorates the wind quality.

Hence

, it hampers the environment. In conclusion,

although

there are negative impacts of convenient flying on humankind and the surroundings, I reckon today’s world cannot live without it. Travelling across nations has always been

trend and will be the same in future.
