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

Although

such

topics, in all likelihood, never will yield a consensual agreement, a constructive dialogue today more

people

are travelling than ever before can lead to thought-provoking discussions. My view is that irrespective of the numerous arguments that exist on either side, there are many benefits of travelling for the traveller. Through the course of

this

essay, I will put forth my points and calculations by considering both sides of the argument. There are a

number

of reasons in favour of my viewpoint.

Firstly

, there are larger numbers 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 still relatively affordable to many

people

.

This

is

further

enhanced by the use of credit cards and loans in order to fund travel, particularly for holiday purposes. The high competition in travel companies 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.

Additionally

,

people

now have more leisure time and disposable incomes. The combination of these two factors with unrelenting advertising campaigns from travel companies and cruise ship operators arguably leads to an increase in demand for travelling, in

this

case for holiday purposes.

Therefore

, the aforementioned discussion constructively justified my stance. Another interesting point is that

people

are travelling greater distances to get work. Large industrial sites for both service and production industries are tending to be located outside city areas.

This

invariably leads to a rising

number

of

people

travelling locally. To quote an example, the research conducted by the Department of the American Society

also

reflects on a similar line and

hence

, it can be said that the proposition is convincingly justified. I see that there is equally potential evidence to support the arguments I have provided, and

hence

, my opinion is that the topic statement does reflect the justification

that is

provided here.
