Travelling during Credit Crunch
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 14:01
People across the world have spent the entire summer this year living in the shadow of the credit crunch and the economic recession. It has been a pretty strange time. Nowhere has the effect of the market downturn been bigger in the field of travel.
According to a lot of market analysis, apparently the era of cheap flights has come to an end. At the same time, the time of road trips are over as fuel surcharges and carbon or guilt-emissions are putting long haul beyond our reach. The cost of travelling is increasing at dramatic speed. According to the feedback from some travel agencies, there’s a huge sense of anxiety as families worry whether they can still afford to take the holiday they’ve planned.
Meanwhile, facing the great pressure brought by surging living cost, in order to further cut their costs and save some money, people nowadays will seriously consider travelling less. No wonder that many travelling agencies, especially the small businesses in practice, are finding it really hard to stay in businesses now.
However, even in this time, many super fans of travelling still think that cutting back on key holiday experiences may be a saving too far. There is still no lack of people looking forwards to packing up their luggage and going on holidays. But, it is certain that the holidaymakers are being forced by soaring fuel prices to budget more carefully than usual.
As travelling abroad will cost a lot more these days, making short-distance travelling plans, such as trips to nice campsites in the neighbourhood, will definitely suits the situation of most families better. Even if you are new to the area of camping, don’t worry. There are a lot of useful information shared by camping lovers on the Internet, including recommended campsites, help with camping equipment and advice for other different camping issues.
