Today more people are travelling than ever before Why is this the case? What are the benefits of travelling for the traveller?

#people #case #traveller
Today more
people
 are travelling than ever before. The reasons for
this
increase
 are many and varied.  On a simplistic level, there is a larger
number
 of means of transportation - there are more cars, buses and trains in operation.
However
, the sheer
number
 of transportation means is not enough to explain
this
increase
. The cost of travelling; even though it is at present increasing due to an economic slowdown globally; is relatively affordable to many
people
.
This
 affordability is
further
 enhanced by the use of credit cards and loans in order to fund
travel
, especially for holiday purposes. An
increase
 of
travel
 companies in competition with each other has
also
 helped bring package prices down, while an
increase
 in the
number
 of operating flights globally has
also
 increased, giving rise to falling air-fare prices.
In addition
,
people
 now have more leisure time and disposable incomes. The combination of these two variables with unrelenting advertising campaigns from
travel
 companies and cruise ship operators arguably leads to an
increase
 in the
number
 of
people
 travelling, in
this
 case for holiday purposes. Another reason why
people
travel
 is going to work. More than ever before,
people
 are travelling greater distances to get to work. Large industrial sites for both service and production industries are tending to be located outside city areas.
This
 invariably leads to increases in the
number
 of
people
 travelling locally.  In conclusion, there are many reasons why more
people
 are travelling both internationally and locally, for business and for leisure. What is sure is that
this
increase
 is likely to continue until travelling at current rates is no longer economically viable.
