Backpacking has grown dramatically in recent decades with the arrival of cheap travel and cheap flights in particular. More and more people are taking the option of travelling to other countries and even round the world trips as independent travellers. Travel books, television and the internet
have fuelled this rise in backpacking by providing information as well as convenience through online booking websites for flights and hotels. Travel has never been as easy as it is today but the cost to the environment from pollution and mass tourism cannot be underestimated. Links to backpacking websites will appear on this page over the coming months.
