Travellers careless about environmental pleas

Now that different kinds of packages and promos are being offered by airline companies, a lot of people have become interested in travelling to and from their countries. Some prefer domestic travels; however, since overseas trips come out much cheaper, most passengers opt for them.

British environmentalists on the other hand are lobbying for constant travellers to switch their destinations to some place nearer. Britons are inclined to travelling outside of country such as United States, Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro instead of nearby European countries. In spite of environmentalists’ plea, they seem to not care about it. According to a survey done by Halifax, there were about 3.7 million Britons who travelled to far-flung places as of last year. These travels were in fact, not that long, and most of them only stayed in the foreign country for just a small number of days.

The flights being mentioned involve by far at least more than five hours of flight, and most of these travellers are exploiting the weak value of dollar by shopping loads of clothes and others in the United States. It was also noted that the Far East side of world came in second as the most popular destination of Britons, with India coming in at third place. Heathrow’s Terminal number five will be opened, and people are expecting for overseas rates to the United States to hit mid-rock bottom. Experts are anticipating for Britons to take advantage of this as soon as it opens.
