Tourism and Holidays in the UK10 October 2006 The UK is not tourist friendlyCompared with some other countries the UK is woefully lacking in facilities... Just think how much nicer it'd be for everyone if we had:
We could have had those leisure-centers but the wise Tony Blair and his wise government decided that the Millenium Dome was a better investment of our cash... Muppets! What the UK needs is more cash coming into it's own holiday resorts, and I mean from proper business, not bloody government grants... That could happen if air-travel became expensive. Cheap air-travel has not helped our tourism industryIf air travel was taxed to reflect the damage it causes, it would become much more expensive. This would result in a lot more people from the UK, holidaying in the UK. The amount of money which would stay in the country (instead of going abroad) would quickly and naturally regenerate all our seaside towns and other tourist areas. It would make our country a lot richer. 
I think we should bring back sailing ships. They don't use any nasty fuels. There used to be some magnificently engineered, large sailing ships back in the past. They're beautiful. It'd be a good thing if they came back - and if fossil fuels weren't so cheap, they might! Eventually, given the taxes on fossil fuels, biofuels would be developed which could power aircraft. There's no reason why the industry couldn't have a renaissance, although it's hard to imagine how it could be as cheap as it is now without some technological breakthrough...
