As a result of tourism and the increasing number of people traveling, there is a growing demand for more flights. what problems does this have on the environment? what measures could be taken?

In recent times, the tourism sector has created a demand for more aeroplanes to commute from one place to another.

This

essay will discuss the issues raised due to

this

development which include an increase in

air

and

noise

pollution

in the environment. It will

also

suggest solutions that could help to overcome

this

issue.

To begin

with,

people

prefer travelling to other places for leisure which demands

airline

companies to run more

flights

.

This

result

in more

fuel

consumption as a plane requires a huge amount of

fuel

to fly for long-distance

travel

.

Consequently

,

this

creates a lot of

air

pollution

in many countries.

For instance

, in India, Delhi is the main city for international

flights

and it has the highest

air

pollution

rate in the entire country due to

this

.

Furthermore

, an aeroplane

also

creates a lot of sound

pollution

which negatively impacts

people

residing near the airport.

Thus

it can be said that higher demand for

flights

can lead to

air

and

noise

pollution

. In order to tackle

this

concern, there could be two possible solutions.

Firstly

, the government can restrict the

fuel

consumption of planes by imposing high tax rates on

fuel

to

airline

companies.

In other words

, if the rate of

fuel

will be high,

then

the overall flight ticket rate will go up.

As a

result

,

people

will

travel

less by airways and choose the other mode of transport to

travel

such

as train or bus.

For example

, recently the Indigo

Airline

increased the service tax of airfare because of an increase in

fuel

prices, due to

this

people

showed less interest to book an expensive flight ticket.

Secondly

, governments can promote public transports

such

as train or bus by reducing their fair price so that

people

will choose them over a plane.

Therefore

by implementing the above-suggested solutions

this

problem can be controlled. To conclude, a boost in the tourism sector may impact the flight operations by demanding more and more

flights

which

result

can

result

in

air

and

noise

disruption.

However

,

such

an issue can be controlled if the government implement necessary regulations on the

airline

industry. If we want to improve the

air

quality and reduce the problem of

noise

due to aeroplane,

then

air

travel

should be avoided.
