Travelling and tourism

A lot of people travel nowadays. It's not surprising because distances between countries are becoming shorter due to the development of transport. The main forms of public transport are buses, trains, ships and aeroplanes. Each of them has its pros and cons.

Of course, air travel is quicker than other means of transport This is particularly true if you are travelling long distances Moreover, many people enjoy travelling by air because of the meal and the entertainment on board. The time goes by more quickly when travelling by plane. Besides, if you have a window seat, you can get a wonderful view of the beautiful cloudy sky.

However, flying often involves delays and cancellations. You often spend more time getting to and from the airport than actually flying. In addition, planes are often cramped - people with long legs can find sitting in a plane for hours very uncomfortable Turbulence can also spoil the flight. Besides, there are occasionally terrorist threats, which would definitely spoil any journey. Finally, air travel is more expensive than any other form of modern transport.

It could be said that flying is more efficient than other forms of public transport if you have to visit another country or continent. In other cases, it is more practical and economical to go by train or bus. Travelling by train is one of the most popular means of travelling. First of all, it's cheaper than travelling by air. Besides, modern trains are very comfortable. You can enjoy a splendid view of the countryside. And if you are hungry, you can have a meal in the dining car.

Some people prefer travelling by sea which is very exciting. If the weather is fine, you can relax on the large sun deck and enjoy the panoramic view of the sea. Modern ships are usually very comfortable: they offer air-conditioned cabins, a large dining area and even a swimming pool. But of course, if you are sea-sick, travelling by ship is not a good idea.

A lot of people travel by car because it's rather convenient. They don't have to buy tickets and to carry heavy luggage. They can stop wherever they wish and spend as much time as they like at any place. However, this way of travelling is not as comfortable and quick as travelling by plane or by train.

To sum up, I can say that we have a lot of different means of transport and people can choose the way of travelling according to their aims and preferences. As for me, I like travelling and I travel quite a lot. I like all means of transport, but my favourite one is travelling by coach. In my opinion, it's the best way to explore different towns and cities both in our country and abroad.
