Oh, what a question! I never thought about it until now because I mostly think it's a bad thing to have so many tourists in your town. What do you think is the biggest advantage of living in a place where there are a lot of tourists? (I'm going to stop adding the 'Jack' questions now. So people need to go away on holiday to make sure all they can do is relax and enjoy their time. Maybe that's good because it's cheap, but probably you end up doing your taxes or something. I heard there is a new word called a staycation - it's a vacation you have in your home. Why do you think people like to go away on holiday? Travel broadens the mind and maybe if we meet more foreign people we won't have so many stupid discussions about immigration. But I don't have a problem with people traveling by train - we all work very hard and need a break.

I think it's true we take too many flights - that's a big problem because of the pollution. Some people say we travel too much these days and shouldn't go on so many holidays. But many fun things are free, like walking beside a river, and there are always cheap restaurants if you have time to look.

Money makes things easier: like you can stay in the city centre instead of the outskirts. No I don't think you have to spend a lot of money, but it helps. Do you think you have to spend a lot of money to have a good holiday?
