Low cost travel is an increasing trend in the travel and tourism industry around the world. Understanding travel and finding new efficient ways to travel is relevant to so many different people because just about everyone in the world travels by some means or another.
One of the worlds largest airline carriers transported over 100,000,000 passengers in North America, in 2008 alone. This has shown the team at The Low Cost Travel Mag just how relevant, learning new information about airlines and hotels is and how to travel cost effectively as well as environmentally friendly.
With travelers increasing global awareness, low cost travel is becoming key in choosing airlines and hotels. The Low Cost Travel Mag brings you valuable information necessary to make excellent travel decisions with regards to cost, carbon emissions, and enjoying a stress free, well planned trip.
The different global warming issues need our consideration as some of the causes of global warming are caused by us. Global warming and the climate change is something we all contribute to in a negative way but can all begin to contribute to in a positive way.
Simply think about traveling economy rather than first class. When you travel first class your seat size and legroom or seat pitch is substantially larger, perhaps the size of four economy size seats. If you equate space on an airplane to fuel consumption, you will realize that in order to fly first class, you are in effect, using four times the amount of fuel as you would when flying economy. This means that an airplane could fly four times as many passengers on the same fuel consumption. The same wastage is seen on in-flight meals and entertainment. Think about the plastic used on board for cutlery, containers and headsets. All of these items need to be recycled to be re-used. This is an ongoing cycle with an alarming carbon footprint.
The Low Cost Travel Mag hopes to shed some light on low cost travel and educate people on how to make informed travel decisions based on saving money and more importantly saving our environment.
