A travel insider has warned Brits planning holidays that flight ticket prices are due     1     (soar) over the coming months. With inflation (通货膨胀) soaring     2     more than 10% and many households struggling to keep up with rocketing gas bills, the latest news will be a     3     (particular) unwelcome one for British people desperate to get away this year.

Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, has said that rising oil prices in part     4     (cause) by the war in Ukraine would lead ticket costs to jump up. “Oil is the single     5     (big) element of an airlines’ cost base and ultimately the high oil prices     6     (pass) through to consumers.”

Mr. Walsh also warned that flight cancellations would push up demand for     7     (seat) on other planes, inflating prices British Airways has grounded tens of thousands of services until the end of October, meaning     8     (it) typical summer schedule has been reduced by 18% in total. At the same time difficulty filling vacancies in hotels, bars and restaurants in the UK, along with sharply rising prices,     9     (mean) staycations are more expensive than ever.

The warning of rising plane ticket prices will make the prospect of going away     10     difficult one for families weighing up whether to stay in the UK or go abroad this summer.

5 . Traditional car-centered transport planning has not only increased greenhouse gas emissions, but also harmfully impacted air quality, road injuries and deaths, and traffic jams. As the world faces the climate crisis, as well as growing risks in road safety, a shift to sustainable transport is needed. Attaining and sustaining high rates of walking and cycling — also known as active mobility — are among the most powerful changes communities can make. It does bring numerous economic, environment, health and social benefits to the community.

First, high rates of active mobility lead to greater connectivity, reduced traffic and parking jam, more reliable travel times and increased public transit ridership. Cities in Southeast Asia lose 2% to 5% of their annual GDP to traffic jam, with Manila in the Philippines suffering the worst loss at $67 million per day. Improving walking and cycling systems can help to lessen the financial loss associated with it.

Second, active travel can help reduce emissions to achieve global targets. Cities contribute 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 21% of these come from urban transport alone. Shifting to walking and cycling is the quickest and most efficient way to minimize the carbon footprint of transport.

Third, positive effects on public health are also abundant with safe walking and cycling systems. For example, the World Health Organization found that enhancing sustainable mobility in Accra, Ghana, could save up to 5,500 deaths and an additional 33,000 lives from increased physical activity over a 35-year period — and a saving of $15 billion in health care costs.

Finally, traveling by foot or bike even improves justice and social unity. After Istanbul, Turkey, pedestrianized (步行化) its city, a survey showed that 68% of pedestrians interviewed felt more comfortable in the area. Many low-income populations also live with little transport access or unsafe and inconvenient routes to their destinations. Constructing safe active travel networks can improve access to opportunities and services for these disadvantaged groups.

In conclusion, people’s physical, mental, social and economic health benefit from the ability to walk or bike in safe environments.
